What is Cushing's Syndrome?

Cushing's syndrome is a condition that results from excessive steroid hormones in the body. The adrenal glands, which are situated above the kidney, produce steroid hormones, including cortisol, which regulates the blood pressure and the immune system. The overproduction of cortisol can leave the sufferer with a variety of symptoms, of which weight gain is the most common.

Cortisol is also necessary to help the body cope with stress and to maintain blood sugar levels. Irregularities in the pituitary gland can also cause Cushing's syndrome, as the pituitary gland can cause the adrenal glands to produce an excess of cortisol. Pituitary problems are commonly the result of benign tumors that can be removed with surgery.

The most common symptom of Cushing's syndrome is weight gain across the stomach, chest and face. However, the arms and legs do not usually gain weight as a result of the condition. The symptoms of Cushing's syndrome are diverse and vary from person to person.
