Hormonal disorders are difficulties in maintaining a normal hormonal balance in the body. They can be the result of malfunctioning organs, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of hormone secreted.
Hormonal disorders can have serious consequences in the form of somatic and psychological problems.
Causes of hormonal disorders
Hormonal disorders are the result of irregularities in the functioning of the organs responsible for hormone secretion. This can be due to a genetic predisposition as well as an incorrect lifestyle.
A bad diet affects the metabolism, which directly affects the hormonal economy, causing its disorders.
The cause of imbalance can also be stress, which results in the release of cortisol (stress hormone), which affects the secretion of other hormones. This causes disturbances in the work of organ functioning.
Symptoms of hormonal disorders
Hormonal imbalances in the body are associated with the occurrence of a number of ailments.
Common symptoms include weight fluctuations, hirsutism (excessive hair growth in women), decreased libido, skin problems (acne), menstrual disorders, drowsiness, decreased immunity, excessive sweating, and vision problems.
Hormonal disorders also lead to psychological difficulties such as irritability, depressed mood, apathy, lack of motivation, malaise, mood swings.
Treatment of hormonal disorders
Treatment begins with determining the causes of hormonal disorders.
The next step is usually to introduce pharmacological treatment aimed at regulating hormone secretion, while changing eating habits and reducing stress.
