The most common cause is the use of steroid drugs, but it can also occur from overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands.
Signs are a fatty hump between the shoulders, a rounded face and pink or purple stretch marks.
Treatment options include reducing steroid use, surgery, radiation and medication. No single lab test is perfect and usually several are needed. The three most common tests used to diagnose Cushing's syndrome are the 24-hour urinary free cortisol test, measurement of m...more

Hi! the majority of symptoms that you have measured overlap between the two. Like obesity itself can result in stretch marks, round face, lethargy, resulting in altered menstrual cycle. Obesity in itself is major cause for pcos. But since you've mentioned that 11-12 years back your cortisol levels were altered then it is better that you get your cortisol and acth-dexamethasone suppression test. And in addition get thyroid profile also done.

Stop thinking about adrenal cancer. Keep faith in your doctor. If reports are coming normal that proves you don't have such problem. Abdominal pain is explained by your cortical cyst it presents with abdominal pain generally. But treatment is symptomatic. Rest of your symptoms may indicate you have high cortisol level in your blood. You may go for a dexamethasone suppresion test. Send the reports when its done. Decrease salt and high water intake. Avoid spicy foods and carbonated drinks.
