The hormonal background is a balance of biologically active substances that support the proper functioning of the body.
Their production occurs in the following organs: kidneys, heart, liver, adipose tissue and in the thyroid gland. In the human body there are about 70 biologically active substances that are in a certain balance in relation to each other.
Even a small deviation from the norm and an imbalance in the balance of hormones can cause many diseases in almost any person. In women, this also affects reproductive function.
The hormonal background may change due to age, stress, parasites present in the human body, malnutrition, the presence of a tumor and other abnormalities. Such violations may be inherited.
Failure occurs both when one hormone in the blood is reduced, or several. The lack of biologically active substances also appears externally: there is insomnia, problems with hair and skin begin, and frequent mood swings occur , which makes a person begin to look very painful.
In winter, in the human body, some processes slow down, including the production of hormones. In the spring they are activated, and a person feels a surge of strength.
