research Sexual function in women with androgen excess disorders: classic forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.
research Utilisation of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue to differentiate ovarian from adrenal hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women

research Diagnostic imaging in congenital adrenal hyperplasia – how does it help?
Imaging helps detect adrenal gland issues and monitor treatment in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and can identify tumors affecting fertility.
research Effects of natural products on skin inflammation caused by abnormal hormones secreted by the adrenal gland
Natural products may help treat skin inflammation from abnormal adrenal hormones.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research Muscle pain in a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency resolved with testosterone therapy. A case report with 10 years of follow-up

research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a rare inherited disease causing hormone imbalances, affecting growth, fertility, and heart health, diagnosed through blood tests and treated with medication and lifestyle changes.
research Can Extra Adrenal Cortisol Secretion Occur in an Adrenalectomized Patient?
A patient produced cortisol after adrenalectomy, possibly due to residual tissue or other body parts making steroids.
research Laparoscopic adrenalectomy – a cure for male pattern baldness
Removing a hormone-producing adrenal tumor can stop hair loss in women with high testosterone levels.
research Disappearance of a virilizing adrenal tumor following therapy with cyproterone acetate
A woman's adrenal tumor disappeared after treatment with cyproterone acetate.
