Glucocorticoid therapy: To replace deficient cortisol and suppress excess androgen production. Mineralocorticoid therapy: For those with aldosterone deficiency, to maintain salt balance and blood pressure. Surgical interventions: To correct ambiguous genitalia, usually performed in infancy or early childhood. Fertility treatments: For those experiencing infertility due to CAH, options may include ovulation induction and assisted reproductive technologies.
