Cushing's Syndrome is a rare but serious condition caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol. This hormone, produced by the adrenal glands, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, reducing inflammation, and controlling blood pressure. However, too much cortisol can lead to a host of health issues. Symptoms often include rapid weight gain, particularly around the abdomen and face, high blood pressure, and skin changes like bruising and stretch marks. Diagnosis can be tricky, requiring a series of tests to measure cortisol levels. Treatment varies depending on the cause but may involve surgery, radiation, or medication to lower cortisol levels. Understanding this condition is vital for early detection and effective management.
