Hormonal dysregulation manifests itself through noticeable symptoms. Learn to detect them in order to restore the balance of your hormones.
Hormonal balance is a very complex mechanism. Hormones play a vital role in our body, regulating various functions such as metabolism, growth, mood, blood sugar and the menstrual cycle. When out of balance, the body can seem out of whack, and sufferers know how disruptive this can be. Let’s take a look at some characteristic signs of hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal disruption: what causes it?
Several factors can contribute to hormonal dysregulation, including problems with the endocrine glands, responsible for producing hormones. Diseases like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as well as diabetes, can cause these glands to malfunction, disrupting hormone production.
Certain medications, such as blood pressure treatments, corticosteroids, and oral contraceptives, may also play a role in hormonal imbalance. Your lifestyle also has a significant impact. An unbalanced diet, physical inactivity and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to disrupting your hormones.
Unfortunately, age is an unavoidable factor. As we age, our bodies produce fewer hormones, which is especially observable during menopause in women.
Attention ! These symptoms mean you have a hormonal imbalance
When hormonal balance is disrupted, signs and symptoms may appear, warning of a possible imbalance. Discover them in the following.
Your sleep is disturbed
During menopause, estrogen can cause sleep disturbances. The decrease in their levels leads to symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes, which disrupt women’s sleep. From the age of fifty, it is possible that sleep disorders, such as fragmented sleep or insomnia, are caused by this drop in estrogen levels.
You have menstrual problems
Most of the time, a hormonal imbalance results in disruptions in the menstrual cycle. This can manifest itself in different ways, including irregular periods, heavy periods or, conversely, light periods. If you also experience period pain, it is very likely that you are suffering from this type of hormonal imbalance. In other words, manifestations of an abnormal menstrual cycle can be a telltale sign of this condition.
Your skin and hair are suffering
Hormonal imbalance can manifest itself as problems with the scalp, causing various hair problems, such as hair loss. This can result in hair loss, the excessive appearance of hair in areas such as the face, chest and back, which is called hirsutism.
You have gained or lost weight without explanation
Weight variation can occur with thyroid dysfunctions, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, as well as problems related to the adrenal glands or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Indeed, these factors have a significant influence on the metabolism and hormonal functions of the body, which can lead to significant weight fluctuations.
Hormonal imbalance can have a significant impact on your well-being. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention to understand the underlying cause of these hormonal imbalances and receive the care needed to restore your natural hormonal balance.
