Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
Hot Flashes
Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause that often feels like a sudden flare of heat, paired with sweating and flushed skin. Hot flashes typically start with menopause and can end when you’re post-menopausal or last the rest of your life.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is a painful symptom that many people may experience at some point during their lives. This symptom can be caused by a decrease in hormone levels, breastfeeding or certain medications. It’s commonly linked to menopause. Treatment options for vaginal dryness typically depend on the cause.
Moody, Depression, Irritability
Hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on mood swings, irritability, and depression. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating emotions, so when they are not in balance, it can lead to erratic and intense mood swings. This can cause an individual to experience extreme highs and lows, ranging from feelings of euphoria to profound sadness. Furthermore, hormonal imbalances have been linked to depression, as certain hormones, such as serotonin and cortisol, play a key role in regulating mood and emotional well-being. When these hormones are disrupted, it can result in persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair.
Weight Gain
Women may gain weight if their hormones are not in balance because hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, appetite, and fat storage in the body. When hormones such as insulin, thyroid hormones, and cortisol are not at optimal levels, it can lead to an imbalance in the body’s ability to properly process and utilize nutrients. This can result in weight gain, particularly in the form of increased fat storage. Additionally, hormonal imbalances can also impact factors such as hunger cues and energy levels, leading to overeating and decreased physical activity, further contributing to weight gain
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the practice of enhancing hormones that are no longer being produced sufficiently by the body. Many symptoms commonly associated with aging are actually a result of decreasing hormone levels, which begin to decline after the age of 35. Issues such as brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, and depression can all be attributed to diminishing hormones. If experiencing these symptoms, it may be beneficial to consult with a hormone specialist at Your Waa.
Regardless of age, a woman’s hormones must harmoniously work together. If one aspect is not functioning properly, it can disrupt the entire system. Hormonal imbalance can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life, so it is important for all women to recognize the signs of such imbalances.
With our longer life expectancy, our glands are being pushed to produce hormones for a longer period of time. The stresses of modern life, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity are leading to decreasing hormone levels in our bodies.
