I realize that excessive androgens in utero for females with CAH seems like something of a pink elephant in the room. When I talked with the surgeon in 2004 that did a urethroplasy, clitorectomy, and vaginoplasty on me in 1975 - he was taken back that I was interested in men.
There are to many studies at different times during different decades by different people not for this subject to have some weight to it.
The endo in this study has given her life to CAH with medication to help with growth issues and also parents taking dex to ward off virilization of a female fetus.
It's anything that parnets don't like about CAH that seems to be dismissed but everything else is embrassed.
No this isn't about stiring the pot but rather just trying to cope with having CAH.
One poster couldn't even talk to her parents and I've talked with others that cope with things in silence as well. Why on earth should we have to be silenced about our own condition? I was talking to those in the CAH community that matter ....not me and was told that I should just be silent about something that I've dealt with alone about CAH. If you as parents feel that excessive androgens are nothing to talk about then it's Ok but don't put down females with CAH that do want to talk. I'm an understanding person and from this thread I had the sad realization that adrogens and CAH really are are for many of you but also the understanding the differences of virilization in males and females with CAH isn't an easy thing to grasp.
Thank you to everyone with CAH that posted here and to all the Endos that try to help.
