Welcome to my YouTube channel AbuBakar Med Plus.    / @abubakar067medplus   In this video we will discuss about Cushing's Syndrome.It is a rare endocrine disorder caused by excess levels of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland that plays a crucial role in stress response, metabolism, and immune function. Excess cortisol can be caused by a variety of factors, including: A pituitary gland tumor that secretes too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) An adrenal gland tumor that produces too much cortisol Familial Cushing's Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder Ectopic ACTH-producing tumor, a rare tumor that secretes ACTH outside the pituitary gland Iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome, caused by long-term use of steroid medications Symptoms of Cushing's Syndrome include: Weight gain, particularly in the midsection Pink or purple striae (stretch marks) Hirsutism (excessive hair growth) Male pattern baldness Thinning skin Poor wound healing Mood changes (anxiety, depression, irritability) Sleep disturbances Hypertension Hyperglycemia If left untreated, Cushing's Syndrome can lead to serious health complications, including: Cardiovascular disease Osteoporosis Diabetes Hypertension Mental health disorders Diagnosis involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests, including: 24-hour urinary free cortisol test Midnight cortisol test Dexamethasone suppression test Imaging tests (MRI, CT scan) to identify tumors Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include: Surgery to remove tumors Medications to reduce cortisol production Radiation therapy Hormone replacement therapy Living with Cushing's Syndrome can be challenging, but with proper treatment and support, it is possible to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. In this video, we will explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for Cushing's Syndrome, as well as share personal stories of those affected by this rare condition. #CushingsSyndrome #CushingsDisease #RareDiseases #EndocrineDisorder #HormonalImbalance #CortisolExcess #PituitaryGland #AdrenalGland #SteroidHormones #WeightGain #Hirsutism #Osteoporosis #Diabetes #Hypertension #MentalHealthMatters #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisorder #HormoneRegulation #HealthAndWellness #MedicalCondition #AwarenessMatters #SupportGroup #CushingsSyndromeAwareness Playlist link ✅👇🏻    • Endocrine System Disorders   Don't forget like, share and subscribe AbuBakar Med plus 👇🏻    / @abubakar067medplus   Thanks for visiting 😊
