2. Children show signs of puberty at too early an age

Children with CAH have abnormal growth patterns. Both boys and girls with this condition develop pubic hair and armpit hair well before the time it usually appears in regular children. CAH children also often experience out of the ordinary growth spurts. When girls reach the age of adolescence, their menstrual cycle also takes an unusual pattern with periods skipped, or they do not occur at normal intervals.
