Hi there, just wanted to add that boys and men with locah should continue treatment because of.............premature arterial sclerosis, heart conditions, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, adrenal rest tissue, testicle tumors, infertility, blood pressure problems, there are also psychological issues, all due to excessive testosterone and lack of cortisol. People with excessive testosterone also seem to rage a lot, just like those people that take anabolic steroids. Then there are the cosmetic issues, like baldness and acne, shortness.

The hairiness would be acceptable on a man.

 Many people live with locah all of their lives and don’t even know they have it. Some people barely have symptoms, the ones that are the extreme of late onset cah. Those that show signs very early seem to me to have a moderate to severe form of locah. That would be me. I had signs at the age of 4 but was not treated till the age of 25. With lots of trial and error, a good dose makes for a good life. I cannot imagine what life would be like for me if I did not receive treatment. Good luck.
