“…6 One cross-sectional study used the GRISS questionnaire (Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction), which evaluates long-term sexual function, and found that 24% of patients with CAH experienced sexual dysfunction whereas only 10% of those in a control group did. 34 A case–control study showed that patients with CAH who had prior genital surgery had lower FSFI scores when compared with patients in a control group, especially among the sections including arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction. 35 The authors also evaluated several aspects of the patients' lives and reported that patients with CAH were found to have higher body mass indexes (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), irregular menses, pelvic pain, and less rates of sexual activity overall.…”

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis, which can lead to virilization in fetuses with a 46,XX karyotype. 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of CAH, accounting for 90–99% of all patients with the condition. The management of patients with CAH should be done with a multidisciplinary team, which would address all of the complex components of their care throughout their lifespans. Many multidisciplinary teams have adopted shared decision-making approaches to genital surgery in which parents and patients can be part of the decision-making process. Continued research is needed to best serve these patients throughout their lifespans.
