'''Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)''' is an [[intersex]] condition that effects 1 in 10,000 to 18,000 people. Those with this condition have adrenal glands (glands above the kidneys that produce horomones such as cortisol and aldosterone) that do not properly function in adrenal horomone production. Because of this, horomone production is effected in both [[CTM]] and [[CTF]] individuals alike.
CTF individuals with this condition typically have an [[Clitoromegaly|enlarged clitoris]], [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitals]], or a penis, however they may have a vagina as well. Although they may appear fully female at birth (if they have a vagina,) upon puberty they have a tendency to grow excessive body hair and facial hair, have severe acne, and irregular or absent periods. They may or may not be fertile, and able to reproduce. Because of this, they tend to fall under [[hyperandrogenism]] as well.
CTM individuals with this condition may also have hyper-masculine features, and will likely have an average penis.
