Normally, Cushing's syndrome occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone #cortisol for a long time.
But most steroid medications have the same effect on your body as cortisol.
So, when you take excess steroids over time, it can lead to Cushing's syndrome.
Cushing's syndrome can also occur when your body makes too much cortisol on its own (like in certain tumors of your pituitary gland or adrenal problems).
But taking or injecting steroid medications (exogenous steroids) is the single most common cause of this horrible condition.

If you want to prevent a pregnancy after sex, use emergency contraceptives.
