One of the body’s main communication channels, hormones regulate a variety of bodily functions, including growth, mood, and sleep. Furthermore, if your hormones are out of balance, it might result in a variety of symptoms.
Find out about some typical hormone abnormalities and the remedies that can restore hormone balance.
What Are the Common Types of Hormone Imbalances?
Some people have hormonal imbalances from birth, and some hormones naturally decrease as we age. Other hormone issues are brought on by medications or autoimmune conditions. In certain cases, the root reason of a hormone imbalance is unknown to experts. Learn about a few typical hormone-related issues.
Thyroid Disorders
One of the most prevalent hormone abnormalities is thyroid disease. A gland at the front of the neck is called the thyroid. It produces hormones that control vital bodily processes like metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate.
The most typical thyroid condition is hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid. It occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone, and Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder, is frequently to blame. The reverse is hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, which occurs when your body produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormone. Grave’s disease, another autoimmune condition, is the most typical cause of hyperthyroidism.
Diabetes
Diabetes is characterized by either insufficient or improper production of the hormone insulin, which controls blood sugar. Your body doesn’t create enough insulin if you have type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t use it properly. High blood sugar levels brought on by diabetes might result in consequences including heart disease.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
In PCOS, a woman’s ovary overproduces testosterone and other masculine hormones. Symptoms include weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, and irregular periods.
Menopause
The female hormone estrogen naturally decreases throughout menopause, which causes menopause. Ages 50 to 52 are the typical onset years, though it can occur earlier or later. You stop getting your period when your estrogen levels fall, and you could also experience symptoms including hot flashes, nocturnal sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
Hypogonadism
The lack of sufficient hormone production by the gonads, or sexual organs, is known as hypogonadism. Low testosterone is the result in men. It denotes decreased estrogen in females. Since hormones regulate changes like pubic hair development, women’s menstrual cycles, and men’s voice changes, hypogonadism is frequently identified in teenagers around the time of puberty.
