    Glossary Cushing's syndrome

    condition caused by excessive cortisol, leading to weight gain and skin changes

    Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism, is a condition characterized by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This can result from taking corticosteroid medications or from the body producing too much cortisol due to tumors in the pituitary or adrenal glands. Symptoms include weight gain, particularly around the abdomen and face, thinning skin, easy bruising, and in some cases, hair loss or excessive hair growth.
