Around one in 50,000 people are affected by Cushingâs syndrome, with females more susceptible to some forms than males. Without treatment, the disorder can be fatal.

Customer: replied 1 year ago. Approximately how many months would you recommend being on birth control pills to regulate your hormones because I would like to start trying to have a baby soon so I want to be on the pill for as short a period of time as possible. Thanks. Expert: Dr. David replied 1 year ago.
Yes, you can. Birth control pills were once only packaged as 21 days of active hormone pills and seven days of placebo pills. While taking placebo pills, menstrual period-like bleeding occurs. Today women have many more options â from regimens with 24 days of active pills and four days of placebo pills to regimens that are all active pills.
