Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia

Adrenocortical hyperplasia, also known as adrenal genital syndrome or adrenal abnormalities, some congenital defects in adrenal enzymes cause abnormal steroid production. Women cause pseudohermaphroditism, and male genitalia are huge. The deficiency of the enzyme is accompanied by an excess of androgen products in the fetus' uterus, which will develop normally in the female Mullerian duct structure (ie, ovary, uterus and vagina), while the excess of androgen exerts its male role in the urogenital system and reproductive nodules Effect, so that the vagina and urethra are connected, the enlarged clitoris is low and open. Labia is also often hypertrophic, and severe cases include hypospadias and cryptorchidism. The adrenal cortex causes cortisol deficiencies to varying degrees because most of the anabolic androgenic steroids are secreted.
