Sometimes you notice symptoms that are odd or frustrating, but you’re not entirely sure what they mean. Revive Medical Center understands and hopes that this list of symptoms related to hormone imbalances in women helps you to find a solution that works for you.
Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, and Other Signs of Temperature Dysregulation
Hormone fluctuations can leave you sweating, both during the day and at night. You might also experience hot flashes, which can show up without any warning at all. These are all examples of your body having trouble regulating body temperature regardless of external temperatures.
Uncontrollable Weight Gain
When hormone levels change, even just a little bit, sometimes the body responds by adding weight. Hormone imbalances can also make it difficult for you to lose weight. This can be particularly frustrating when you’re doing all the right things and getting no results.
Extreme Hair Loss
Hair loss happens every day. When you brush your hair, you probably notice strands of hair adding up in your brush. But with hormone imbalances, you might notice that you’re losing a lot more hair than usual. It can become severe, in fact, leaving spots where the hair thinning is obvious.
Adult Acne
Acne is gone once you hit adulthood, right? Maybe not so much, especially if your hormones end up fluctuating a bit. You may only experience acne outbreaks near your cycle, or you could start having persistent acne troubles all the time.
Loss of Muscle Tone
Hormones handle a lot of different functions in the human body, including things like metabolism and muscle tone. Imbalances in hormone levels can mean that you start to lose muscle tone when you don’t expect to. This can be frustrating, but it also contributes to issues like fatigue because muscle cells have more mitochondria than other cells do and mitochondria are the energy producers in your body.
Extreme Fatigue
Everybody gets tired, especially with a packed schedule and a never-ending to-do list. But if you’re feeling as if you’re never well rested at all, that might be due to hormone imbalances. You may also notice that you’re experiencing daytime sleepiness and trouble sleeping at night, a situation that becomes a vicious cycle.
Digestive Problems
The gut is a sensitive part of your body and it’s also subject to the whims of hormone fluctuation. If your hormones are seriously imbalanced, you may notice more digestive issues than usual. Getting your hormones back to optimal levels can help your gut to recover.
