Symptom #9: Menstrual Irregularities
Irregular menstrual periods are a common problem that women suffering from Cushing syndrome have to deal with. Menstrual irregularities mean that menstrual periods can get shorter or last longer, become heavier one month or even completely stop for a certain time.
As cortisol levels affect almost all of the human body, female hormones (which control the menstrual cycle) will be affected as well. Imbalance of estrogen and progesterone caused by excess cortisol will lead to irregular menstrual periods.
