Cushing Syndrome

Cushing's syndrome (also known as hypercortisolism) is an endocrine disease, often caused by a tumor, that leads to overproduction of the adrenal stress hormone cortisol.

Cushing Syndrome vs Cushing’s Disease

Diagnosing adrenal dysfunction involves evaluating symptoms, medical history, and conducting specific tests, such as saliva, blood, or urine tests for hormone levels. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like stress management, improved diet, regular sleep, and sometimes hormone therapy under medical supervision.
