CAH is the most common intersex condition in Pakistan. It is taught as a rare disease. SWCAH can be life threatening if not managed properly so you will need to get hormone levels checked every 3-6 months.
endocrinologists usually prescribe the standard treatment which should lower the 17oh progesterone levels. the idea is to keep a good balance for a healthy life. You must get the child's Karyotyping and Ultrasound abdomen done at least once. Understanding the condition always helps the parents take better care of the child
