Hormonal disorders

What are hormonal disorders?

Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many of the body's functions. Hormonal disorders occur when there are abnormalities in the amounts of hormones the body produces, secretes, or responds to. These disorders can affect many processes like growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, sleep, mood, etc.

Some common hormonal disorders include:

• Hypothyroidism - When the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and more.


• Hyperthyroidism - When the thyroid produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. This leads to sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat, tremors, etc.


• Diabetes - Caused by low or no production of the hormone insulin by the pancreas. This results in high blood sugar levels.


• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - A disorder causing infrequent/prolonged periods and excess male hormone in women. Leads to issues like infertility, acne, hirsutism, etc.


• Menopause - Marks the end of menstruation in women around ages 45-55 years due to lowered estrogen/progesterone levels. Causes hot flashes, mood changes, vaginal dryness, etc.

What causes hormonal imbalances?

Hormonal disorders can be caused by reasons like:

• Diseases affecting glands like pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes


• Inflammation or tumors in endocrine glands


• Genetic mutations


• Poor diet and lifestyle


• High stress levels


• Environmental toxins
