What Causes Abdominal Distention Along With Swollen Face And Hair Loss?

I have abdominal weight gain overnight, puffy face, hair on my face, hair falling out. Hoping it s not Cushings! Had cortisone shot for sinus infection, then a week of oral steroids, then started a compound nasal steroid rinse for a month. Stopped all steroids. Still have symptoms.

Thanks for the query. I understand your Concern.
You seem to have a side effect of the prolonged steroid treatment you had.It should go within few weeks of withdrwal of steroids automaticallyprovided there i s no endocrinal problem.
I would suggest consultation of your treating doctor/an endocrinologist for specific evaluation the earliest.
Thanks.
