Question 1

what symptoms can you expect if your adrenals are overworked?

Accepted Answer

Tired and wired : Fatigue, anxiety, panic, irritability, insomnia, 'brain fog, low libido, and cravings for carbs and/or salt are common acute and chronic symptoms. If it becomes more chronic there is weakening of the immune system which depends on normal adrenal function.

Question 2

my son has all the symptoms of adrenal exhaustion. what can he take for it?

Accepted Answer

Adrenal exhaustion: The adrenals don't get exhausted.  They either don't work (=Addison's disease) or they work.  If your son has fatigue, or other sx, see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Question 3

acth stim test showed baseline of 17, rising to 33 43mins later. borderline and maybe a secondary adrenal issue, or just normal? symptoms for years.

Accepted Answer

If mean cortisol,,,,: If you're talking about cortisol levels rising from 17 to 33 ug/dL on under 60 min is a normal reaction after being stimulated with ACTH, however, the values are low which could signify a primary adrenal issue, like Addison's disease, or something less like an under functioning adrenal.  This would likely require hormone replacement therapy if this was the case so see your Dr. for more details.

Question 4

what are the symptoms of cancer of the adrenal?

Accepted Answer

Variable symptoms: Adreno cortical cancer can cause a variety of different symptoms depending on what hormone is being made (either sex hormones, cortisol or aldosterone). For more on the symptoms (the space here is too short) i recommend viewing the following link:

Question 5

hi there what are the symptoms of penis thrush redness of the glans?

Accepted Answer

Thrush and others: If you are uncircumcised, a yeast infection (thrush) could do this, but so could be "nonspecific" banalitis, bacterial overgrowth, or other causes. Best to be professionally evaluated. Or you could try simple hygiene first -- retract foreskin and wash with soap and water twice a day -- then get care if it doesn't clear up in a few days.

Question 6

adrenal tumor: what symptoms would one have?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This entirely depends on the type of tumor. If it is functional then you might have overproduction of cortical or medullary hormones, depending on location. If the tumor is destructive possible underproduction of hormones. Some tumors are metastatic from other cancers and some are just incidentally found. Therefore it's possible to also have no symptoms.

Question 7

which symptoms are signs of active adrenal tumor?

Accepted Answer

Various: Symptoms will depend on the final product produced by the tumor cell line. If predominantly cortisol secreting, you would expect cushing's manifestations as such rounded face, purple striae marks on abdomen, hair loss, muscle weakness, easily bruisability, etc. On the other hand, if the tumor is predominantly secreting androgens, then you would expect worsening acne, hirsutism, and also hair loss.

Question 9

do adrenal tumor symptoms happen at any time of day?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: The most common adrenal hormone is cortisol. This hormone has a "diurnal" or morning-evening variation. This variation is lost when there is a tumor producing this hormone, since a tumor is unchecked growth and therefore does not come under the usual control of other feedback methods.

Question 10

please explain what are some symptoms of an adrenal tumor?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Adrenal tumors are of two major types, cortex and medullary tumors. Cortical cancers produce steroid hormones and medullary ones produce catecholemines. Medullar tumors produce high blood pressure where as symptoms of cortical tumors depend on the hormone produced. See this site for more info.
