In the modern world our adverse lifestyle, abrupt eating habits, and stressful professional and personal challenges have led to a lot of physical, physiological, and emotional issues. Among these, hormonal imbalances are becoming increasingly common, affecting people of all ages and genders. Individuals suffering from such imbalances often face bodily challenges such as fertility issues, irregular periods, mood swings, etc which disturb their daily lives. AstitvAM, a homeopathy clinic in Pune offers hormone balance treatment naturally and holistically.
From the moment we attain puberty, hormones play a significant role in every aspect of our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. These chemical substances secreted in our body play an essential role in coordinating and regulating basic body functions including reproduction, metabolism, sexual function, and growth. These also have a major impact on our appetite, mood, emotions, stress, and even maintaining the ideal human temperature of our body.
These powerful signals are majorly secreted and regulated by the glands of the endocrine system into the bloodstream. Some of the major hormones secreted are:
Secreted by the “Thyroid gland”
Responsible for controlling metabolism, weight, body temperature & energy levels.
Secreted by the “Pancreas” Regulates the sugar level in the blood
Secreted by the female reproductive system – “The Ovaries” Responsible for initiating female traits during puberty Menstruation, reproduction, and menopause in women
Secreted by the male reproductive system – “The Testes” Produces the secondary sexual characteristics in men like facial and body hair, hoarse voice, etc.
Secreted by “Pineal Gland” located in the brain Regulated emotions, mood swings, or stress
Secreted by the “Adrenal Gland” Controls blood pressure, regulated sugar levels, psychological stress levels and essential functions
Apart from these major hormones, there are many other hormones secreted that regulate and maintain the normal functioning of the body.
When hormones are secreted in abnormal amounts, that is, either too much or too little, it can lead to prominent changes in the body. Some common symptoms observed during hormonal imbalance are:
One of the most prominent cases of hormonal imbalance includes the fluctuation in sexual hormones –testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.
Low testosterone levels in males medically termed as testosterone deficiency can cause infertility issues, depression, obesity, erectile dysfunction, irritability, stress, and emotional distress. Similarly low or high levels of progesterone and estrogen are associated with irregular menstrual cycles, painful penetration, headaches, fertility issues, weight gain, mood swings, and constant fatigue.
Correspondingly, irrespective of the function that a specific hormone performs, hormonal imbalance tends to have a deteriorating effect on the body, disrupting well-being and overall quality of life.
Our hormones get the most inflated and affected during puberty. Due to rapid physical growth, emotional changes, and academic rigor, teens are more susceptible to hormonal imbalances. These imbalances can cause irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, acne breakouts, weight issues, increased aggression, etc.
Menopause is characterized by a significant decrease in the female hormone – estrogen. This decline triggers various symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. Hormonal imbalance during menopause can cause deteriorating effects in the female body. It can directly affect negatively bone health, and density, and can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Hormones are delicate chemicals and a lot of underlying conditions such as genetics, lifestyle, and eating habits greatly influence their production, release, and regulation in the body. Some common causes that induce hormonal imbalance are:
Cortisol and adrenaline are known as flight or fight hormones as they are released during any kind of stressful situation that may pose as a threat. The release of such hormones causes an increase in energy levels, heart rate, and blood pressure. However prolonged stress levels in the body disrupt the balance of these hormones including many others. If not controlled timely, these can lead to complicated health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
Lack of consumption of a good healthy balanced diet has a negative effect on hormones causing them to lose balance. For example- regular intake of sugary and processed food products triggers hormone imbalance by increasing the levels of insulin, cortisol, and estrogen in the fat cells. This further influences a lot of mechanisms in the body such as aging, headaches, hair loss, insomnia, and constant lethargy.
A proper sound sleep is essential for maintaining and regulating the heart, body, and mind. Inadequate sleep patterns can interfere with the production, release, and levels of hormones as such cortisol, melatonin, and TSH. Lack of proper sleep also has a direct impact on the female sex hormones –estrogen and progesterone, leading to irritability, emotional distress, and fertility issues.
Some individuals grappling with specific medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), diabetes, thyroid disorders, etc can also develop hormonal imbalances.
Sometimes, certain types of medications such as hormonal contraceptives, corticosteroids, antidepressants, etc can interfere with hormonal levels causing them to lose control. In parallel to these medications, certain prevailing toxins in our surroundings can disrupt hormone production and signaling. For ex- it has been found that exposure to certain pesticides, plastics, and personal-care products can dysregulate hormone levels as they contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Happy hormones give happy lives !! But when hormones are out of balance, they lead to negative consequences such as impaired physical health, disrupted sexual life, emotional distress, etc. Keeping that in mind, it is essential for any individual grappling with hormonal issues to seek an effective hormonal imbalance cure and treatment.
