How can hormones make me sick? What is hormone imbalance?

The endocrine system produces hormones that are vital for every system in your body, including metabolism, digestion, muscle growth, reproduction, and more. Hormones function as chemical messengers that carry out hundreds of crucial functions.

You can have hormonal imbalances if you have too much or too little of a particular hormone. Thus, even slight changes in body chemistry can cause serious problems.

For example, since hormones regulate metabolism and appetite, imbalanced hormones can make you feel more hungry than usual yet slow down your metabolism. This will make you gain more weight.

Hormonal imbalances can lead to severe consequences if left untreated. It is important to remember that hormones are not something we should take lightly, even though we rarely think about them.

How will I know if I have a hormone imbalance?

Aside from menopause and andropause, hormone imbalance can also be caused by chronic stress, medical conditions (diabetes and thyroid issues), and certain medications. Even the food that you eat can cause hormone imbalance.

A hormonal imbalance can manifest in several ways. It is easy, however, to confuse hormonal imbalance symptoms with symptoms of other illnesses, such as viral or bacterial infections. Therefore, many people may suffer from hormonal imbalance without being aware of it.

In general, it’s best to keep an eye out for these main symptoms, and you may need to speak to a doctor about a possible hormone imbalance.

Watch out for these common symptoms of hormone imbalance:

  • Digestive issues

    Do you experience nausea, constipation, and constant diarrhea regularly? Although these symptoms might just be a bad case of stomach flu, they could also be a symptom of hormone imbalance.

    Having too much progesterone can make you constipated, as it inhibits bowel motility. Estrogen (and not progesterone) may also cause reduced digestion, which delays or slows down bowel movement.

    You might want to keep a journal of how many times you experience stomach “episodes” and what they entail.

  • Fatigue or lack of energy

    One of the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance is fatigue or low energy. Even if you have completed 7 to 8 hours of sleep, there are times that you would still feel fatigued.

    A high progesterone level can make you sleepy, while a thyroid that produces too little thyroid hormone can sap your energy, making you constantly tired. Low testosterone can also cause extreme tiredness.

    You need testosterone to produce red blood cells, which transport oxygen around your body. Oxygen is important for energy.

  • Hair loss or hair fall

    You might have noticed your hair thinning and shedding more often; that’s a good indicator of hormone imbalance. Hormonal imbalances can cause hair loss or hair thinning in both men and women.

    Aside from high-stress levels, illness, or a lack of certain nutrients, hormone changes can contribute to hair loss. Thinning hair can also be caused by thyroid issues, even though women usually associate it with reduced estrogen or progesterone levels.

    Reduced androgen production also shrinks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. Often, treating the imbalance helps your hair regrow.

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

    Low estrogen levels can cause a hot flash. An intense heat starts in your chest and spreads to your neck, a feeling that can last for several uncomfortable minutes. You might notice your heart pounding and your face sweating when you experience a hot flash.

    You might experience hot flashes as you sleep, leading to night sweats. So if you wake tired and sticky in the morning and your PJs are drenched with sweat, your hormones could be to blame.

Having hormone imbalance puts you at risk of developing other severe, chronic, and even life-threatening conditions. Try hormone therapy today and feel like yourself again.
