Medication, surgery, radiation, HRT
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thank you for writing in.
The treatment options available for treating Cushing's syndrome are the following:
-Medication: To reduce cortisol production (eg. mifepristone, ketoconazole, etc.)
-Surgery: If Cushing's syndrome has occurred due to the presence of a tumour, the surgeon might decide to remove the tumor from the pituitary gland
-Radiation therapy: If surgery is not sufficient in treating the tumor, this might/can be followed up by radiation therapy as well
-Removal of cause: Whether tumor or medication (eg. corticosteroids, etc.)
-adrenal gland, either before or after treatment can cause hormonal imbalances (eg. drug: hydrocortisone)
I hope this information has helped you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications.
I wish you good health and nothing less.
God bless.
