Cushing Disease
Cushing disease is a hormonal disorder that arises when the body is exposed for a prolonged time to high levels of cortisol, in this case from an origin related to the pituitary gland. Its effects show up in different parts of the body gradually.
Common symptoms: weight gain in the face and trunk, muscle weakness, thinning of the skin with the appearance of stretch marks, and changes in mood or sleep.
When should you see a doctor? When several of these changes appear together and progressively, without a clear cause to explain them.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the go-to professional to study and follow up on this hormonal disorder, with the support of the internist when needed. If you identify a group of these symptoms, discussing it with a specialist helps clarify its origin and guide the next steps.
