"Amy Schumer's Revelation: Understanding Cushing Syndrome"

Comedian Amy Schumer revealed her diagnosis of the rare hormonal disorder Cushing syndrome, following online criticism about her appearance. Schumer has exogenous Cushing syndrome, caused by high doses of steroid injections. Symptoms of the disorder include a rounded face, fatty hump between the shoulders, and pink or purple stretch marks on the skin. While life-threatening if untreated, Cushing syndrome is curable with treatment, which may include gradually reducing steroid intake or surgery for tumor-related cases. Schumer aims to advocate for women's health by sharing her health journey.
