Health Tip: Cushing's Syndrome is a Hormonal Condition

May 26, 2006 08:56:20 AM PST

Cushing's syndrome affects as many as 15 million people each year, typically between the ages of 20 and 50. It occurs when the body's tissues have been exposed for an extended period to too much of a hormone called cortisol.

According to the U.S. Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Information Service, people with Cushing's often gain weight in the upper body, and have an abundance of fat around the neck, a round face, and thin arms and legs. Cushing's also leads to weakened bones and thin skin, which may bruise easily.

Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a medication regimen that prevents production of cortisol, the NIDDK says. If medications taken for other conditions are causing Cushing's, your doctor may adjust the dosage to control both problems.

Health Tip: Dealing With Post-Baby Blues

May 26, 2006 08:56:20 AM PST

Having a baby is a big adjustment in a woman's life, and she may experience fatigue, irritability and unexplained emotional swings, including crying. But if those symptoms don't go away within the first few weeks after giving birth, postpartum depression may be responsible.

Postpartum depression is thought to be caused by the significant hormonal changes a woman undergoes after giving birth, according to The National Women's Health Information Center. Feelings of being overwhelmed, lack of sleep, and stress caused by a new daily routine may also trigger depression.

Women with postpartum depression typically show signs of moodiness, overwhelming sadness, anxiety, lack of energy, or irregular eating and sleeping patterns. If these symptoms last for more than a few weeks, you should talk to your doctor.

The NWIC offers some suggestions on dealing with postpartum depression, including asking for help from friends, your spouse or other family members.

Sleep when the baby is taking a nap to help catch up on your sleep. Many women also find comfort in support groups, where new mothers can share their new experiences. You should also try to get out of the house each day -- even just for an errand or a brief walk.
