Cushing’s Disease Day

April 8, 2029

Cushing’s Disease Day on 8th April

Cushing’s Disease Day, observed on 8th April, raises awareness about Cushing’s disease, a rare endocrine disorder caused by the body’s prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol. The symptoms of Cushing’s disease can be debilitating, ranging from weight gain and high blood pressure to muscle weakness, fatigue, and severe mood changes. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, the condition can lead to serious health complications, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Cushing’s Disease Day highlights the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment. It encourages healthcare professionals to remain vigilant in recognising the symptoms and provides support for individuals living with the condition. Treatment usually involves addressing the underlying cause of excess cortisol production, which may include surgery, medication, or radiation therapy.

In addition to raising awareness, Cushing’s Disease Day fosters a sense of community among patients, families, and healthcare providers. By sharing stories, promoting research, and encouraging donations to organisations that support patients with Cushing’s disease, this day offers hope to those affected and advocates for better treatment options.
