Hormonal Disorder

Appetite and Weight Gain

Weight may be gained during hormonal changes such as menopause. However, hormonal changes do not directly affect weight.  Factors such as aging and lifestyle are effective in gaining or losing weight. For example, when an individual feels sad or angry (such as when estrogen levels drop), they may want to eat more. It also produces  , a hormone that your body suppresses hunger.It may also affect leptin levels.

Sudden Weight Loss

Thyroid gland Not only does it affect the conversion of food into energy, it also helps control heart rate and body temperature. Weight loss may occur when it produces too much hormone or not enough.  Losing 10 kilos or more without doing more exercise or eating a different diet is a situation that needs to be investigated.

IrregularQuantity periods

Most women experience their menstrual period every 21 to 35 days. If you don't get your period around the same time every month, or if it takes several months to get your period, this may mean that certain hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are too high or too low. This may be due to perimenopause (the period before menopause) if the woman is in her 40s or early 50s. However, menstrual irregularity can also be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.It may also be a symptom of health problems such as  (PCOS).

Sleep Problems

If you don't get enough sleep and your sleep quality is poor, hormones may be involved. For example, when levels drop during the menstrual cycle, you may have difficulty falling asleep. Low estrogen levels can trigger hot flashes and night sweats, both of which can make it difficult to get needed rest.

Acne 

It is normal for acne to appear before or during your period. However, persistent acne may be a symptom of hormone problems. Excess of androgens (“male” hormones found in both men and women)  It can cause your sebaceous glands to become overactive. Androgens also affect the skin cells in and around your hair follicles. Both of these can clog pores and cause acne.

Dry skin

Changes in hormones can cause dry skin. This can happen during menopause, when your skin naturally begins to thin and cannot retain as much moisture. It may also be a problem occurring in the thyroid. 

poor memory

It is not known exactly how hormones affect the brain. What is clear is that changes in estrogen and progesterone can make memory feel “foggy” and make it harder to remember things. Some experts suggest that estrogen may affect brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Attention and memory problems, especially during perimenopause and is common during menopause. However, they can also be a symptom of other hormone-related conditions, such as thyroid disease. 

Stomach and Intestinal complaints

Intestines, estrogen and progesterone it is covered with small cells called receptors that respond. When these hormones are higher or lower than normal, changes occur in the way we digest food. Therefore, diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, and nausea may occur or worsen before and during the menstrual period. If problems such as acne and fatigue are experienced, as well as digestive problems, hormone levels may be low.

ThisFrequent Feeling of Fatigue

 Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance. It may create the need for excessive progesterone compliance. If the thyroid, the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck, produces too little thyroid hormone, this reduces energy production in the body. A simple blood test called a thyroid panel will show if the level is too low. 

Night Sweats

If a person wakes up drenched, it may be due to low estrogen. Many women experience night sweats at the beginning of menopause. Other hormone problems can also cause them.

Mood Swings and Depression

Drops in hormones or rapid changes in hormone levels can cause pessimism and sadness. Estrogen affects essential brain chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. 

Hair Loss and Thinning Hair

When hormones such as estrogen drop, other hormones in the body, such as testosterone, begin to have a greater effect on the body than the estrogen hormone. In this case, hair thinning or hair loss may occur. This may occur during pregnancy, during menopause, or after starting birth control pills.

Headaches

There are many factors that trigger headaches. However, in some women, drops in estrogen can trigger headaches. Therefore, it is common for headaches to occur during the period when estrogen decreases, just before or during the menstrual period. Regular headaches, or headaches that usually occur at the same time each month, may indicate changing hormone levels.

Vaginal Dryness

It is normal to experience vaginal dryness occasionally. However, if you frequently notice that your body feels dry or irritated, this may be due to low estrogen levels. The hormone helps vaginal tissue stay moist and comfortable. If estrogen levels drop, this can reduce vaginal fluids and cause tension.

Loss of Libido

Most people have low testosterone thinks it is the male hormone, but women's bodies also produce testosterone. If testosterone levels are lower than normal, there may be less interest in sexual intercourse than usual.

Breast Changes

Decreased estrogen can cause breast tissue to become less dense. The increase in the hormone can thicken this tissue and even cause swelling or to cysts may be the reason.

Thirst

Both estrogen and progesterone levels can affect the amount of water in the body. When hormone levels change (such as before or at the beginning of a menstrual period), an individual may find themselves thirstier than usual. Dehydration can also be a sign that the body is not producing enough anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which helps retain a healthy amount of water. This is diabetes insipidusIt may cause a condition called  .
