Treatment methods may differ depending on the cause of the disorder. Cushing's syndrome can develop from two reasons.
If it was caused by corticosteroid use, the doctor will advice you to decrease your medicine dosage slowly. A sudden stop in the consumption of medicine can be dangerous to the individual.
If the cause was by a pituitary or a tumor that releases ACTH (Cushing disease), surgery to remove the tumor and most often, radiation after removal of a pituitary tumor would be ideal in some cases. If the tumor cannot be removed, you may need medicines to help block the release of cortisol. Removing the tumour may lead to full recovery but there is a chance for the condition to return.
