Cushing’s syndrome has many symptoms, including irregular menses in women and low libido in men. The condition can also result in other health issues if not treated early enough. Here’s a look at how Cushing’s syndrome affects reproductive health:

What Is Cushing’s Syndrome?

Cushing’s syndrome results from abnormal levels of the hormone cortisol in the body. The adrenal glands produce cortisol hormone to help your body and brain cope with stressful situations. Normal amounts of cortisol are also vital for maintaining blood pressure and heart function and converting food to energy. 

Other functions of cortisol include controlling the immune system, raising blood sugar levels and supporting bone formation. The body can make excessive cortisol due to high levels of stress. You may also receive cortisol from external sources like medication. Excessive levels of cortisol can result in Cushing’s syndrome, which manifests in various symptoms. 

Common signs of Cushing’s syndrome include weight gain, fatty deposits, moon-shaped/ round face, menstrual irregularities, and pink/purple stretch marks on the skin. Cushing’s syndrome also causes skin bruises, slow-healing injuries, excessive hair growth, fatigue, loss of concentration, weak muscles, stress and depression.

Male infertility can be a very sensitive and difficult issue for many men to accept. It can come as a big surprise that they may be creating the problem by taking certain supplements – especially (anabolic) steroids. Steroids that are used to enhance strength and fitness can actually drastically lower a sperm count (to zero in many cases). These types of steroids can do damage to male fertility. The drugs interfere with the hormone signals required to produce sperm. The amount of damage depends on which drugs are being used, the dosage and how often they are taken. Anabolic steroids can be found in some fitness and muscle-building dietary supplements from unreputable companies. Excessive amounts of anabolic steroids may help you achieve a more muscle-bound physique; however, at the same time, it can also lower your sperm count considerably.

Understanding Uterine Shape Abnormalities, Their Detection, and Impact on Fertility The uterus, a vital organ in a woman's reproductive system, plays a crucial role in fertility. Its shape can vary significantly among individuals, and abnormalities in uterine shape can have a significant impact on a woman's ability to conceive. Uterine Shape Abnormalities: Bicornuate Uterus:  This condition is characterized by a heart-shaped uterus, where the organ is divided into two sections. It can reduce the space available for an embryo to implant, increasing the risk of miscarriage. Septate Uterus:  In this condition, a septum or wall divides the uterus into two parts, limiting the available space for an embryo to implant. It can also increase the risk of miscarriage. Arcuate Uterus:  An arcuate uterus has a slight indentation at the top, but it generally doesn't affect fertility. However, in some cases, more significant indentations may impact implantation. Unicornuate Uterus: ...
