Hormone deficiency occurs when the body does not produce enough of a certain hormone. Hormones are chemical messengers that control many functions in the body. When levels of key hormones drop too low, it can cause widespread symptoms.
Some common hormone deficiencies include:
- Low testosterone in men - can cause low energy, reduced muscle mass, and low libido
- Estrogen deficiency in women - often occurs after menopause, causing hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and bone loss
- Thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism - leads to fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold
- Growth hormone deficiency - reduces muscle mass and bone density
Symptoms depend on which hormones are lacking, but may include:
- Fatigue
- Weight changes
- Skin or hair changes
- Mood changes like depression
- Cognitive issues like trouble concentrating
- Menstrual cycle changes
- Reduced sex drive
- Muscle loss or weakness
If you suspect a
hormone imbalance, make an appointment with your doctor. A simple blood test can check levels of hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and more. Your doctor can also help discover any underlying causes.
Sometimes diet, exercise or stress management helps correct minor hormone issues. Other cases need
hormone therapy to restore optimal levels. Customized
