Adrenal Gland – Testosterone – Sex, Cortisol – Stress !

harrissymptomsky · October 12, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Adrenal gland functions in human body and hormones

And this over here is the adrenal gland.

It sits right on top of kidneys on both sides of the body.

In medicine, we would say bilaterally.

This gland not only produces cortisol, which is called the stress hormone, it also produces aldosterone, which is important for blood pressure and electrolyte levels.

It is also important for production of androgens, important for libido, sexual drive and even mental state and health.

Addison’s disease caused tired and hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation in your toes, knuckles, elbows, or inside of your cheeks, skin folds, those are all places where Addison’s disease can cause hyperpigmentation.

So what are these additional signs that might indicate that a patient is indeed suffering from Addison’s disease?

That is, the adrenal gland insufficiency.

Feeling nauseous, vomiting, stomach pain with weight loss.

All of these symptoms are primarily caused by the lack of cortisol.

That is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland.

But if you analyze and examine the patient closely, you might notice that symptoms which are correlating with the lack of androgens or aldosterone hormone might be present as well.

Is hyperpigmentation dangerous?

We all know that hyperpigmentation can be hard to treat.

You probably read that you have to avoid sun exposure and use topical creams.

Well that might somehow help you.

In fact they do help sometimes.

But what if that is not the case?

And what if all of these recommendations and remedies are not bringing any results?

Well the truth is that some cases of hyperpigmentation are caused by some underlying and potential equally even dangerous medical condition.

One such condition is Addison’s disease.

Addison’s disease can be described as adrenal gland deficiency.

And this over here is the adrenal gland.

It sits right on top of kidneys on both sides of the body.

In medicine we would say bilaterally.
