In fact, before CAH was well understood, it was thought to occur much more frequently in girls. Now we know that this really reflects the fact that newborn girls with genital ambiguity often came quickly to medical attention, whereas CAH boys (who don’t have an intersex appearance) often died without being diagnosed. Another problem that can happen is called “Salt wasting.” Some people with CAH (whether intersexed or not) don’t produce the right levels of hormones that control salt in the body. These people can get very sick, and even die, without medication to correct their body’s salt level.
