Adrenogenital Syndrome

Adrenogenital Syndrome, also known as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), is a genetic condition where the adrenal glands produce abnormal amounts of hormones, particularly androgens. This can lead to an early development of male characteristics in both boys and girls. In females, it may cause ambiguous genitalia at birth and later menstrual irregularities. In males, it may lead to early puberty signs. The condition affects hormone balance and can have various health implications. Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy to manage symptoms and maintain hormonal balance. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for long-term health.
