What Is a Hormonal Imbalance?

 A hormone imbalance results from an excess of or lack of a certain hormone in your bloodstream. Hormones are chemicals produced by the endocrine glands. They travel through your bloodstream to help regulate most major body processes. These hormones are involved in such internal processes as:
  • Sleep cycles
  • Heart rate
  • Mood
  • Body temperature
  • Appetite
  • Sexual function and reproduction
  • Growth and development

 

The amount and type of your hormones fluctuate throughout your lifetime. Your hormone balance differs with age and gender. Imbalances can occur when your endocrine glands aren’t functioning properly. A hormonal imbalance test is a laboratory test that measures the hormone levels in your blood, saliva or urine.

For scientifically proven hormone replacement therapy  and other forms of treatment for hormone imbalances in New York City, turn to nurse practitioner Svetlana Pyatigorskaya  at Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC.  She provides an extensive array of therapeutic options.

What Are the Signs of a Hormone Imbalance?

The symptoms you experience from a hormone imbalance depend on which hormones or glands are running too high or too low. Specific hormone imbalances upset men and women differently, but some imbalances can affect both genders — such as growth hormones, insulin, adrenaline and steroids. While every person may show different symptoms, common signs of a hormone imbalance include:
  • Irritability and anxiety
  • Headaches
  • Changes in appetite
  • Unexplained sweating
  • Very dry skin or rashes
  • Depression
  • Bloating
  • Unexplained weight loss or weight gain

Women experience hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. A hormonal imbalance in women can occur in estrogen or progesterone levels, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Night sweats
  • Bloating
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Foggy thinking

Men experience some natural hormonal fluctuations during puberty or as they age. Hormonal imbalances in men often include problems with testosterone levels. This may cause symptoms such as:

  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Reduced libido
  • Muscle stiffness or pain
  • Moodiness

How Can I Improve My Natural Hormone Balance?

To look and feel your best, take a proactive approach to improving your health as much as possible. An active lifestyle and a healthy diet can help you stay healthy while keeping your hormone levels in balance. Some other things you can do to improve your natural hormone balance include:

  • Creating a bedtime ritual
  • Going to bed at the same time every night
  • Decreasing exposure to blue light, like that from computer screens or the TV, before bed
  • Getting tests to confirm any hormonal imbalances
  • Getting as much natural sunlight throughout the day as you can
  • Seeking professional help from a trained medical professional and anti-aging specialist
An ideal diet is based on a healthy caloric intake that includes proteins, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Get some exercise every day, including strength training or weight-bearing exercises in your exercise program, which help regulate your metabolism. While healthy lifestyle choices keep you as healthy as possible, you should also pay attention to any signs that point to a hormone imbalance. In addition to hormonal imbalance treatment with bioidentical hormone replacements, your nurse practitioner at Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC in Downtown Manhattan provides counseling to help you integrate a healthy lifestyle into your treatment plan.
