Hormonal Imbalance in Women

Women need regular assessments of hormone levels to determine if current levels are optimized-which can prevent critical imbalances within your body.

​

What Causes a Hormone Imbalance in Women?

Hormonal imbalances in women may arise as a natural aspect of the aging process and can also indicate genetic susceptibilities to specific health issues. Additionally, the equilibrium or disruption of hormones can be influenced by dietary choices, physical activity levels, and the degree of stress encountered.

​

Which Conditions Are Caused by Hormone Imbalance?

When a woman experiences a hormonal imbalance within her endocrine system, she may exhibit a variety of symptoms that can vary from mild to severe. This condition indicates an excess or deficiency in the production of hormones specific to women within the endocrine system. Potential symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women may encompass:

• Heavy, irregular, or painful menstrual cycles

• Reduced bone density

• Episodes of hot flashes and night sweats

• Vaginal dryness

• Tenderness in the breasts

• Digestive issues

• Alternating constipation and diarrhea

 

What Is the Endocrine System?

The endocrine system consists of a network of glands that produce and distribute hormones throughout the body.

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various functions in your body by transmitting signals through the bloodstream to your organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues. These messages instruct your body on what actions to take and when to take them. Hormones play a vital role in sustaining life and maintaining your overall health.

What Kind of Treatments Are Available for Female Hormone Imbalance?

There are three approaches to consider when selecting a medical treatment for hormone imbalance in women. The first approach involves taking no action to optimize hormone levels, relying on the hope that the patient will naturally improve. The second approach follows conventional medicine, which may offer treatment options that primarily alleviate symptoms rather than address the underlying issues. The third approach is to seek the expertise of a BHRT Certified Provider, who has reported that one of the most effective strategies for restoring hormonal balance is through the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets. The insertion of these pellets is a quick procedure, typically taking only a few minutes. Generally, patients begin to notice the effects of BHRT within four to six weeks following the insertion of the pellets. However, individual responses may vary, and some women might need additional insertions to achieve optimal results. These pellets deliver bioidentical hormones that closely resemble those naturally produced by the body and can remain effective for a duration of three to six months.
