Hormonal disorders occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that control most of the body's functions, so an imbalance can cause widespread effects.
Some common hormonal disorders include:
- Hypothyroidism - When the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, and more.
- Hyperthyroidism - When the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone. Symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, rapid heartbeat, irritability, and more.
- Diabetes - Usually caused by low insulin production or insulin resistance. This results in high blood sugar and complications like nerve damage, vision loss, and heart disease if not managed properly.
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) - A common condition caused by high levels of androgens (male sex hormones) in women. Leads to irregular periods, excess hair growth, and sometimes infertility.
What causes hormonal imbalances?
Hormonal disorders can be caused by different factors like:
- Diseases affecting glands that produce hormones
- Tumors on glands
- Genetic mutations
- Damage or injury to glands
- High stress levels
- Poor diet and lack of exercise
The good news is hormonal disorders are often manageable with lifestyle changes and medical treatment if needed.
