Anogenital distance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The anogenital distance is a measure of feminisation measuring the distance between the anus and the base of the penis. Studies show that the perineum is twice as long in males as in females. The AGD in males may be shortened through exposure to phthalates found in some plastics.
