Other causes include tumours of the pituitary and adrenal glands, and tumours in other areas of the body. Around one in 50,000 people are affected by Cushingâs syndrome, with females more susceptible to some forms than males. Without treatment, the disorder can be fatal. Many overweight people with hypertension or diabetes have some features of Cushingâs syndrome. Tests can be done to rule out this possibility.
Customer: replied 1 year ago. Approximately how many months would you recommend being on birth control pills to regulate your hormones because I would like to start trying to have a baby soon so I want to be on the pill for as short a period of time as possible. Thanks. Expert: Dr. David replied 1 year ago.
There is VERY little evidence that the hormones in the birth control pill will cause birth defects. The birth defect hype came from the drugs that were given to women who were ALREADY pregnant, to stop miscarriages. Don't stop taking the pill until a pregnancy is confirmed. It will not damage the zygote. Comment.
