Adrenogenital Syndrome: Therapy

Regular checkups

• Regular medical checkups

Nutritional medicine

• Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
• Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account gender and age.
• Observance of the following nutritional recommendations (for prophylaxis of osteoporosis due to glucocorticoid therapy):
  • Calcium-rich (1,000 mg calcium / day) diet: fish, fresh vegetables, dairy and whole grains and nuts are beneficial for bone formation.
  • Vitamin D-rich diet (supplementation with 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D3 required, as no adequate intake of vitamin D from food is possible!).
  • Avoidance of phosphate-containing drinking and nutrients (eg cola drinks, various sausages and meat products).
  • Note that for optimal bone metabolism must be fed less acid-forming foods and instead more base-donating foods.
• Selection of appropriate foods based on the nutritional analysis
• See also under “Therapy with micronutrients (vital substances)” – Taking a suitable dietary supplement.

Sports Medicine

• Endurance training (cardio training) and strength training (muscle training).
• Prophylaxis of osteoporosis due toglucocorticoid therapy: regular moderate training with pressure load stimulates bone formation and thus reduces the risk of fractures (bone fractures).Furthermore, measures should be taken to promote muscle strength and coordination (eg, by Tai Chi) with the aim of reducing falls. At the same time, however, care should be taken not to overload and not to expose the body to an increased risk of bone fractures.
• Preparation of a fitness or training plan with suitable sports disciplines based on a medical check (athlete check).
