Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 48-year-old female. I have been diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome and also have type 2 diabetes. My doctor recently prescribed Recorlev for my condition. I am curious to understand whether Recorlev is a better treatment option compared to surgery for managing Cushing's syndrome. Could you provide information about the effectiveness of Recorlev in controlling the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, especially in cases like mine with accompanying diabetes?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
You can try the surgery option also. But it depends upon the cause of your Cushing's disease whether endogenous or exogenous.
Surgery of the pituitary or adrenal glands is somewhat technically warranted.
So, I suggest you go for drugs according to your doctor's advice since you have diabetes also. Your healthcare professional will try the various drug options according to availability and consequences based on your health.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.
