Nelson Syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder that occurs when the pituitary gland produces too much of the hormone ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). It is a complication of treatment for Cushing's Syndrome, which is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland. Symptoms of Nelson Syndrome include rapid weight gain, high blood pressure, and darkening of the skin. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, as well as medications to control hormone levels.

Nelson Syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder that is caused by the overproduction of the hormone prolactin. Symptoms of Nelson Syndrome include:

-Weight gain
-Headaches
-Visual disturbances
-Excessive hair growth
-Enlargement of the hands and feet
-Enlargement of the pituitary gland
-Decreased libido
-Infertility
-Fatigue
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Mood swings
-High blood pressure
-Abnormal menstrual cycles
-Decreased bone density

Nelson Syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder caused by the overproduction of the hormone prolactin. It is caused by the removal of the pituitary gland, which is the gland responsible for producing hormones. This removal is usually done to treat a pituitary tumor, which is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. The removal of the pituitary gland can cause the body to produce too much prolactin, leading to Nelson Syndrome. Other causes of Nelson Syndrome include radiation therapy, trauma, and certain medications.

Nelson Syndrome is a rare condition caused by an excess of the hormone prolactin. Treatment for Nelson Syndrome typically involves medications to reduce prolactin levels, such as cabergoline, bromocriptine, and quinagolide. Surgery may also be recommended to remove the tumor that is causing the excess prolactin production. In some cases, radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor.

At this time, there is no known cure for Nelson Syndrome. However, medications can be used to help manage the symptoms. These medications may include corticosteroids, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, and dopamine agonists. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise may help to reduce symptoms.
