The human endocrine system all the time produces certain biologically active substances that have a specific specificity. These substances are called hormones and have a tremendous effect on various systems and organs of man. In addition to the fact that hormones are a significant factor affecting the general state of human health, they also determine its nature, libido, temperament and other characteristics. Hormones are a fairly important regulator of almost all processes that occur in the body of any person, regardless of his condition.
It is very important to maintain the normal functioning of the hormonal system of the body all the time. If you do not identify the disorders in its work and the causes of these violations in time, then you can cause significant damage to the body. Such failures, as a rule, lead to the most diverse and rather serious diseases, for example, such as infertility, obesity, early menopause, impotence, mental disorders and even the development of atypical processes. The causes of malfunctions in the functioning of the hormonal system can be even the most, at first glance, harmless factors. Most often, this is a fairly common malnutrition in the modern world. Various poisonings, severe psychological shocks, a genetic predisposition, previous operations, primarily to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy, as well as surgical interventions in the work of the reproductive organs, have an equally strong influence on the state of the hormonal background.
In the human body, different glands of the endocrine system are responsible for the production of hormones. Depending on this, the corresponding hormones are distinguished. Diseases caused by hormonal imbalance are determined according to specific symptoms, which, in turn, can indicate a more accurate location of pathological processes. When a patient addresses one or another complaint to a doctor, he usually directs him to a blood test for hormones. According to the results of this study, you can get a clearer picture of the disease. It is noteworthy that both the insufficient production of certain hormones and their overabundance can lead to ailments. It is very important to follow certain rules before taking a blood test for hormones. The norm may deviate depending on the time of day, food intake before blood sampling, the psychological state of the patient, and in women, the menstrual cycle also affects the results. That is why doctors, as a rule, warn their patients so that they do not eat anything and go to the laboratory in the morning to take a blood test for hormones. Deciphering the results is already carried out directly by the attending physician, who must take into account all the factors in this particular case. For small deviations from the norm can lead, for example, taking drugs that contain certain hormones. Therefore, it is not recommended to take any hormonal medicines before taking a blood test for hormones. It is also undesirable to drink alcohol and smoke the day before.
In any case, it is impossible to joke with health, and even more so with important systems that have a strong influence on the state of the body. If you ignore the symptoms, constantly postpone going to the doctor, you can start the disease, which in the early stages could be very successfully cured. As a rule, untimely diagnosis of ailments leads to irreversible processes that can cause irreparable harm to human health.
