The work of the hormonal system is important for the body, because a lot of things depend on her activities. Various dysfunctions or malfunctions of hormones are most often inherent in women, but men can also suffer from this. What is
hormonal failure, signs, causes and methods of treating this disease - this is what is worth considering today.
About women
Most often, hormonal system malfunctions are inherent in women. These disorders affect almost the entire body of a lady, but the most vulnerable place is the female reproductive system. In this case, the smallest that can be is a malfunction of the menstrual cycle. In more severe cases, the occurrence of various gynecological diseases.
Signs
Is it possible to somehow independently determine that a hormonal failure has occurred. Symptoms may be as follows. The most pleasant sign for a woman, but not for the body, is weight loss. If a woman eats a lot, but at the same time loses weight, you can safely diagnose her hormonal dysfunction. However, in such cases, the hereditary factor must be taken into account, because nature can still make such a “gift” to certain people. When diagnosing a disease, other factors should be taken into account: a woman may experience
low-grade fever, tremors, and sleep disturbances. Obesity can also say that a woman is not all right with hormones. A quick set of own body mass should also make a woman turn to an endocrinologist. How else can you diagnose hormonal failure? Symptoms may include the following: hypertrichosis - increased female body hair, stretch marks (even in those who have not given birth), itchy skin (it should be borne in mind that this can also be a sign of diabetes). In the most severe cases, a malfunction of hormones can lead to a disease such as acromegaly, when a person has a rough face, a protrusion of the jaw and eyebrows. Women at a certain age can also be overtaken by hormonal failure. Signs of this disease in such a situation: a change in the amount of certain hormones in the body, which is not very noticeable, but this may be indicated by the unstable functioning of the nervous system (about 30 years old women, when the ideal period for conception and bearing a child ends). Also, the onset of menopause in women at about 50 years old. Signs of
hormonal failure in girls are most often manifested in the malfunction of the menstrual cycle, in which case it is also better to consult a gynecologist first, and then, perhaps, an endocrinologist.
About men
Although much less common, hormone failure may also occur in men. Signs of this disease in the stronger sex: in the first place, there may be a sharp decrease in the male sex drive , both obesity and loss of muscle mass can occur - noticeable weight loss, a decrease in body hair, a general weakening of immunity. Frequent depression and depression are also possible. Other signs of hormonal failure in men, such as gynecomastia, i.e. an increase in the mammary glands of men, the growth of the "female" breast. It is worth noting that the treatment of hormonal failure should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor based on the results of tests. However, each person also can help with this. It is simply necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle: eat right, be in the fresh air, and also load the body with all possible physical labor.
