As treatment successfully addresses the underlying cause of the hormonal imbalance, such as surgery to remove the source of excessive cortisol production or medication to control cortisol levels, the menstrual cycle is likely to return to normal, resulting in a decline in menstrual flow. This improvement in menstrual regularity is a positive indicator of successful treatment for Cushing syndrome in female clients.
