Slight changes in hormone levels are normal, but extreme hormone fluctuations are unnatural and detrimental to your health. They can cause several complications and health issues like hair loss, infertility, mood swings, improper sexual development and growth, insomnia and reproductive problems.
Hormonal imbalance can also affect your energy levels, leading to tissue and cell changes and abnormal appearances and functions. It may also affect the immune system.
The endocrine gland produces hormones in the body. The main hormone-producing glands include the thyroid glands, pituitary gland and pancreas.
A hormone profile test aids in diagnosing the cause of some issues affecting women. This includes identifying the cause of moodiness, lack of energy, hair loss, sudden growth, obesity, infertility, constant fatigue and certain skin problems such as acne.
Hormone profiling can also help identify the cause of syndromes like premenstrual syndrome and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), a leading cause of infertility in women. Hormonal imbalance may also cause menstrual disorders like heavy menstruation or menorrhagia, irregular period, scanty menstruation, dysmenorrhoea or painful menstruation and no menstruation or amenorrhoea.
Abnormal hormone levels can also affect men, resulting in moodiness, general tiredness, infertility, and weak erections. Hormone profiling can help know hormone levels to diagnose these conditions and understand the right treatment.
If you experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance, ensure you visit GP London for a hormone profile to determine if you have a hormonal imbalance.
Other health issues resulting from hormonal imbalance in women and men are skin problems, diabetes, increased body hair or hair loss, improper development and growth, abnormal body weight, extreme mood swings, chronic fatigue, and reproductive disorders.
Men and women have varying levels of sex hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These hormones control reproduction and sex, and any abnormal changes in the levels of these hormones can affect the reproductive ability and sex life.
Other hormones such as cortisol, leptin and epinephrine control different aspects of life like stress, growth, weight loss, food intake and stress. Abnormal levels of hormones may cause undereating or overeating, improper development and growth, and sleep disorders.
Consulting a doctor at GP London is necessary before running a hormone test, or you can come with your doctor’s referral note. This ensures you get the right tests, saving you money and time.
Many hormones in the body are only present at specific times of the day and months, so you need a doctor to order the test at the right time for an accurate result.
