What Is Cushing Syndrome?
1. Cushing Syndrome
Cushing syndrome is a condition also known as hypercortisolism. It occurs when there are high levels of cortisol in the body for a long time. Extended exposure to high levels of the hormone is not good for us and it can cause some very unwelcome symptoms. There are a handful of reasons that this can happen.
The condition can be treated and most patients will go on to make a full recovery, and treatment is easier and more effective the sooner the condition has been detected and treated. Although treatable and not usually dangerous, potentially severe complications will arise in a small number of cases.
