Most Common Signs Of Hormone Imbalance Most Women Ignore

Hormone plays a very important role in a person’s life especially in their growth years and women face a lot of hormonal changes daily but all hormone imbalance might not come with a huge impact and if you’re a woman then you should consider looking for these hormone imbalance signs most women ignore.

1. Breast Changes

This one’s important. If they feel less dense than usual, your estrogen levels are dropping. If they feel thicker than normal, your estrogen’s going up. Either way, talk to your doctor.

2. Irregular periods

If your periods are switching up each month or skipping some others, you could be facing estrogen or progesterone imbalance. Sadly, it’s hard for women to tell which. Talk to your doctor because this also might be a sign of cysts on the ovaries.

3. Memory problems

Changes in estrogen and progesterone can make it harder to remember things or to think clearly. But so can thyroid disease, so talk to your doctor if there’s some unusual fog in your memory.

4. Stomach problems

There are a lot of reasons for stomach pain, bloating or queasiness. But your stomach is sensitive to hormone changes, so that could be why they’re happening if you’re having any other problems on this list.

5. Chronic fatigue

Everybody feels a little tired sometimes, but if it’s happening to you all the time, it’s probably your hormones. If you’re getting too much progesterone, you’re going to feel more like sleeping. Another cause of tiredness is thyroid dysfunction. A blood test will help you find out which one it is.

6. Mood swings or depression

Sudden changes in your estrogen can mess with certain brain chemicals like dopamine or seratonin. This can scramble your moods or leave you feeling depressed.

7. Insomnia

Of course, it’s also possible for your progesterone to be too low. If this happens, you’re going to have more trouble than usual getting to sleep and — just as importantly — staying asleep.

8. Headaches

Again, a lot of things can cause headaches. But if you’re getting them around the same time each month, that could be your estrogen dropping.

9. Hot flashes and night sweats

Anyone heading towards menopause knows how much these suck. They’re usually caused by low estrogen.

10. Stubborn acne

It’s normal to have a breakout when your period’s on the way, but if the acne sticks around, you could have too many androgens. This causes your oil glands to work a little too hard and clog your pores.

11. Vaginal dryness

It’s normal for this to happen from time to time. But if you’re feeling dryness unusually often, it’s because your estrogen level is dropping.

12. Increased Appetite

When your estrogen drops, it can affect another hormone called leptin, which controls how hungry you are.

13. Low libido

If you’re feeling less interested in sex than you usually are, you may be experiencing a drop in testosterone.
