The symptoms of CAH vary depending upon the form of CAH and the sex of the patient. Symptoms can include: Due to inadequate mineralocorticoids: * Vomiting due to salt-wasting, leading to dehydration and death Due to excess androgens: * In extreme virilization, an elongated clitoris with a phallic-like structure is seen. * Ambiguous genitalia, in some infants, occurs such that initially identifying external genitalia as "male" or "female" is difficult. * Early pubic hair and rapid growth occurs in childhood. * Precocious puberty or failure of puberty to occur (sexual infantilism: absent or delayed puberty) * Excessive facial hair, virilization, and/or menstrual irregularity in adolescence * Infertility due to anovulation * Clitoromegaly, enlarged clitoris and shallow vagina Due to insufficient androgens and estrogens: * Undervirilization in XY males can result in apparently female external genitalia. * In females, hypogonadism can cause sexual infantilism or abnormal pubertal development, infertility, and other reproductive system abnormalities.
