A hormone is a chemical messenger that your endocrine glands create to help operate most of your major bodily functions, such as mood, hunger, and reproduction. When your hormones are properly balanced, your body functions optimally, and you feel your best.
Many factors can disrupt your endocrine system and cause a hormone imbalance. Unfortunately, the longer your hormones are out of whack, the longer it takes to get them properly synced again.
Some of the signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance are:
Vaginal dryness is a particularly troubling symptom of hormonal imbalance that strikes women during menopause.
Hormonal imbalances typically strike at certain stages of life, such as puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause.
Your hormones can also get off kilter because of poor diet, sleep deprivation, trauma, exposure to environmental toxins, certain medications, or chronic disease.
Your Andrea Reiche, MD, Inc. health team can get to the bottom of your hormone imbalance to treat the root cause. Each person’s situation has its own complexities, so balancing hormones is highly customized to meet your needs.
