Other causes include tumours of the pituitary and adrenal glands, and tumours in other areas of the body. 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.
A progestin-only birth control pill is often called the mini-pill.. Regular birth control pills have 2 female hormones: estrogen and progestin (a synthetic version of the naturally-occurring hormone progesterone). The mini-pill has only progestin in it. Because this pill doesn't contain estrogen, it may not have as many side effects.
