I hope this brief description helps bring some light on this subject. CAH results in 3 disturbances: … Lack of Cortisol … Lack of Aldosterone … Too much Androgen (male sex hormone) - which is intimately involved in growth and sexual development. The steroid treatment is suppose to prevent the following symptoms in BOYS: -early development of masculine characteristic -enlarged penis -small testes -early appearance of pubic and axillary hair The aim of treatment is to provide the body with the ability to maintain a normal energy level, and balance of salt and water in the body, normal growth and sexual maturation at puberty, and fertility later in life. The treatment DECREASES the production of Androgen, It therefor, REDUCES the degree of MASCULIZATION not only in girls but boys as well. SO THERE CAN INDEED BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN CAH AND HOMOSEXUALITY. I do believe my fears ARE justifiable.Lucy
