There is no recognized medical condition or disease officially called "Cousin Disease." It's possible the term is being used informally or is a misunderstanding of a different condition. If you're looking for information about a medical issue, please clarify the name, symptoms, or related terms.
If you were perhaps thinking of Cushing syndrome, it is caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Without treatment, Cushing syndrome can lead to several noticeable physical changes, including:
- Facial Roundness: Often described as a "moon face."
- Weight Gain: Primarily around the midsection and upper back.
- Thinning Limbs: Arms and legs may become thinner compared to the trunk.
- Easy Bruising: The skin becomes more fragile and prone to bruising.
- Stretch Marks: Purple or pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, and arms.
It's important to note that these symptoms can also be associated with other medical conditions. If you are experiencing these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
