Understanding adrenal PCOS
Sometime the excess androgens involved in PCOS are produced by the adrenal glands, not the ovaries, which makes PCOS caused by the adrenals a bit different to regular PCOS. Find out how to deal with adrenal-androgen excess.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an adrenal gland disorder where the production of cortisol is affected by an enzyme defect. Androgen precursors accumulate in the blood, with results that range from salt-wasting, high blood pressure, and virilising/feminising.
Clitoromegaly
Large clitorises can develop for several reasons, with the most common being an excess of androgens for some reason when a foetus was developing.
