What is hormone imbalance? Hormonal Imbalance happens when your body produces too much or too few hormones at a time. Earlier, we covered why hormone imbalance is something you should be concerned about. This time, we will delve into the top early symptoms of hormone imbalance in both men and women, as well as the early precautions you can take.
While there are more than 50 hormones in the human body, the primary hormone is testosterone for men. In men, testosterone is primarily produced by the testicles, and while women do produce them as well in the ovaries, the amount is significantly lesser [1]. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for;
Typically, there are four types of hormone imbalance in men [2];
Women have all the hormones in the male body, but the primary ones are estrogen and progesterone. Both hormones are produced in the ovaries and are responsible for women’s reproductive system. The functions of estrogen and progesterone include;
For women, your body will naturally produce less hormone as you age, and common hormone imbalance conditions are;
Hormone imbalance symptoms can typically be divided into metabolic-based and sex-based categories [3]. Metabolic-based Symptoms – various hormones can cause metabolic-based symptoms and are not exclusively reliant on primary women or men-based ones. Metabolism, in general, is the chemical reaction that happens when your body changes the food you eat into energy, and it may involve more than ten hormones at a time. Sex-based Symptoms – are predominantly caused by an imbalance in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone – the three hormones related to sex and reproduction. Some symptoms may only apply to men or women, while others may overlap depending on the hormones’ functions.
Combined, some of the common hormone imbalance symptoms are;
Individually, these symptoms might lead to a different diagnosis. Still, if you are experiencing them regularly or have multiple symptoms overlapping, you should see your doctor and ask for hormone testing.
When you are diagnosed with any conditions related to hormone imbalance, you will normally be treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). To avoid this, a good diet and exercise are key in managing hormone imbalances. Several ingredients are linked to hormone balancing for diet, and taking them might help manage the condition or reduce the symptoms. These ingredients are then formulated into commercial dietary supplements. Some of these ingredients include; sheep placenta, deer placenta, ginseng, red clover, and evening primrose oil. Before subscribing to regular dietary supplement intake, you should understand how they work, read their labels properly, and consult your regular practitioners. Dietary supplements are meant to supply your existing diet with nutrients that you might lack and should not be treated as preventative or treatment drugs. Did you find our article helpful?
