Hormonal imbalance indicates the malfunctioning of our body. The environmental situation, diet, medication, addiction to alcohol, a "sedentary" lifestyle and much more contribute to the disruption of the human hormonal background.
Hormonal imbalance is the basis for the development of numerous diseases of internal organs. Violation occurs due to improper production of hormones. In order to determine the cause, you need to go through a series of studies.
Hormonal disorders can be people of both sexes. Problems with the thyroid gland in women stimulate the production of testosterone, the level of which exceeds the norm. This, in turn, lowers progesterone and estrogen levels . As a result, hormonal imbalance occurs. A lack of estrogen is characterized by menstrual irregularities, and a lack of progesterone, on the contrary, is abundant in blood clots.
An excess of both hormones contributes to the deterioration of well-being, the engorgement of the mammary glands, increased pressure, a rash, weight gain.
Increased testosterone in women is indicated by excessive hairiness, the formation of a male figure.
Men usually experience hormonal imbalances at the age of about forty-five, when testosterone production is significantly reduced. In men, sexual activity and performance are reduced, diseases of the prostate gland (adenoma, prostate) develop.
