Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess cortisol — either from long-term use of corticosteroid medications or from a tumour in the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, or elsewhere in the body producing too much cortisol on its own. The resulting cluster of features — central weight gain, skin changes, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, muscle weakness, and mood disturbances — develops gradually and can significantly affect quality of life and long-term health. Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause: medication-induced Cushing's is managed by carefully tapering the steroid and switching therapies where possible; Cushing's disease from a pituitary tumour is treated with transsphenoidal surgery; adrenal tumours are removed surgically; and ectopic ACTH-secreting tumours are treated with surgery or oncological therapy. Medical therapy with cortisol-blocking drugs may be used as a bridge or long-term treatment when surgery is not possible or has not fully succeeded. With the right diagnosis and treatment, most patients experience meaningful improvement over months to a year or more.
Structured reduction of steroid doses or use of cortisol-blocking drugs for patients whose Cushing's is medication-induced, or as a bridge while awaiting or after surgery.
