Recently, Shaanxi Baoji
.
31-year-old Ms.
Zhao found herself getting uglier and uglier in one year, her face acne continued, her face became bigger and bigger, her appetite was not long, her waist was getting thicker and thicker, her limbs were getting slender, and her menstruation was irregular for a long time and even amenorrhea
.
Ms.
Zhao came to the endocrinology department of the hospital and was diagnosed with rare diseases - Cushing's syndrome, ACTH-dependent, and pituitary adenoma
.
After identifying the cause, Ms.
Zhao underwent surgery
to remove the pituitary tumor.
After the operation, she gradually regained her previous appearance and shape, and her menstrual period was regular
.
Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism or Cushing's syndrome, is a group of clinical syndromes
caused by hypercortisolemia caused by various etiologies, acting on target organs throughout the body.
The most common clinical manifestations of Cushing's syndrome are central obesity or weight gain (95%), excessive blood (90%), moon face (90%), sexual dysfunction (90%), as well as buffalo back, purple striae, muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, psychiatric symptoms, hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, hypokalemia, etc
.
The main causes of Cushing's syndrome can be divided into adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent and non-dependent: 1.
ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome:
the pituitary gland and tumor tissues other than the pituitary gland secrete excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone, resulting in adrenal hyperplasia, thereby secreting excessive cortisol
。
2.
ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome: there are tumors or hyperplasia in the adrenal cortex, resulting in excessive cortisol
secretion of itself.
If large doses of exogenous corticosteroids are taken for a long time, it can lead to the development
of exogenous Cushing's syndrome.
Doctor reminds: If you find that your appearance has changed dramatically, especially if the diet has not changed, if the person becomes fat or ugly, it is recommended to go to the endocrinology department or neurosurgery department of the hospital to check endocrine hormones, if there is an abnormality, you need to do further examination!
