Hormonal Imbalance

Overview

Hormonal imbalance is a general term for disruptions in hormone levels that can affect metabolism, mood, menstrual cycles and energy. It is often linked to thyroid, adrenal, pituitary or reproductive hormone systems, and identifying the specific cause is the first step toward effective treatment.

Symptoms

• Persistent fatigue
• Unexplained weight changes
• Irregular periods
• Mood swings
• Changes in skin or hair

Causes & Risk Factors

Hormonal imbalance can stem from thyroid, adrenal, pituitary or reproductive hormone disorders, chronic stress, or lifestyle factors such as sleep and diet.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive hormone panel tailored to your specific symptoms, alongside a detailed clinical history to identify the underlying pattern.

Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to the specific hormonal cause identified, and may include:

• Addressing the specific underlying hormonal cause once identified
• Medication where appropriate
• Lifestyle change
• Referral for further evaluation when needed
