Your endocrine system is a complex home for hormones that regulate internal metabolism, energy levels, reproductive growth and development, and the body's response to stress, injury, and environmental factors. Symptoms of hormone imbalance vary depending on which glands and hormones are affected. For example, men may experience excessive acne on the face, chest, or upper back. Women may develop excessive hair on the chin, or other body parts, hair loss, irregular periods, and low libido. If hormonal imbalance has begun to affect your daily life, consult Dr. Miriam Torres at Serenity Gynecology & Functional Medicine to discuss hormone management in Grapevine, TX. Balanced hormones can improve sleep quality, promote weight loss, increase motivation, and combat anxiety or depression.
What To Know About Hormone Management
Humans have over 50 different hormones that have many functions involving your sleep cycles, body temperature, metabolism, mood, appetite, and libido. These hormones can be challenging to stabilize when life is full of unpredictable and stressful events. Nobody knows you better than yourself, so if you feel like something is off to begin with, trust your gut feeling and consult with Dr. Torres about questions or concerns. Hormonal imbalances present different symptoms for everyone, such as oily skin, heavy sweating, and uncontrollable mood swings. Hormone management aims to restore your body's natural hormonal balance. Remedies may include making lifestyle changes to increase natural hormone production or taking prescription medications containing bioidentical hormones to replace any your body has stopped producing.
