Early surgery was defined as \u22644 years of age and late \u226510 years.

Almost half of the cohort had a positive experience of the information about surgery, a third had no opinion and a fifth had a negative experience. Of the women 39% thought that early surgery was good, while 19% thought it should be done during or after puberty and 42% had no opinion. Of those preferring early surgery 70% had early surgery themselves. Vaginal surgery was less common among those favoring early surgery. Age, phenotype, genotype, decade of surgery and experience of the information about surgery did not differ significantly between the three groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Equal numbers of women had no opinion regarding age at surgery or preferred early surgery while 19% thought it would be preferred to have surgery during or after puberty.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12020-024-04080-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]],"date-time":"2024-10-18T11:03:40Z","timestamp":1729249420000},"page":"830-835","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Women\u2019s response regarding timing of genital surgery in congenital adrenal hyperplasia"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"87","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5622-6987","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrik","family":"Falhammar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9249-1473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gundela","family":"Holmdahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4670-3401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helena Filipsson","family":"Nystr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0405-3401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Nordenstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"Hagenfeldt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6638-4631","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agneta","family":"Nordenskj\u00f6ld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4080_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1210\/endrev\/bnab016","volume":"43","author":"HL Claahsen-van der Grinten","year":"2022","unstructured":"H.L.
