Hormone imbalance can affect weight, sleep quality, skin, including a person’s personality.
The degree of hormone changes at some times is normal as before and during menstruation, pregnancy or menopause. Some medications and health problems can also cause hormonal imbalances and lead to many health to severe health problems.
Sudden weight loss
The thyroid helps regulate the conversion of food into energy, heart rate and body temperature. When the thyroid gland produces too much or too little hormone, the weight may decrease. People lose weight without dieting or losing weight, so they go to check to determine the cause soon, thereby adjusting them promptly.
Irregular menstruation
The menstrual cycle of most women usually lasts 21-35 days. If the cycle does not come at the same time per month or more than one or two months may be due to some hormones (estrogen and progesterone) too high or too low. The cause may be due to premenopause or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Sleep problem
Not getting enough sleep or bad sleep may be caused by progesterone (hormone secreted by the ovaries, which supports sleep). Low estrogen levels can cause a fire and sweat at night.
Chronic acne
Acne appears before or during menstruation is normal, but acne can not cure may be a symptom of hormone problems. Excess hormone androgen causes excessive oil glands. Androgen also affects skin cells and around the hair follicles. Both factors can clog pores and cause acne.
Tired, hard to remember
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance progesterone or estrogen. They can affect the chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitter, causing imbalance between stimulating neurotransmitters, leading to fatigue and difficulty remembering. The issues of attention and memory often occur during premenopause and menopause but they can also be symptoms of hormonal diseases such as thyroid disease.
Night sweating
If you wake up with a wet body sweat may be due to low estrogen levels. Many women experience sweating at night at the beginning of menopause. Other hormones may also cause this condition.
Change mood and depression
Estrogen affects important chemicals in the brain such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. These substances have an influence on a person’s feeling. Increased or decreased hormone levels can lead to erratic temperament and melancholy feeling.
Headache
Headache due to many causes but women’s pain is often due to decreased hormone estrogen. Frequent headaches or headaches that appear at the same time can show the change in hormone levels.
Loss of sexual desire
Most people think that testosterone is only available in men, but the female body produces this hormone. If testosterone is lower than usual can lead to reduced libido.
