Psychological or physical stress, diet, insufficient sleep and lack of exercise can affect hormonal levels.
Numerous factors can alter hormonal balance in a person. Psychological or physical stress, diet, insufficient dream, lack of exercise, or even excessive exercise can affect hormonal levels.
This is explained in an interview with Europa Press Salud Infosalus Manuel D. Gahete, who is a researcher at the Maimonides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba (IMIBIC), as well as the Board of Research of the Board of Directors of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN).
In addition, this expert talks about medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome (SOP), as examples of health problems that directly impact production and hormonal regulation.
“Medications such as oral or corticosteroid contraceptives can also modify hormonal balance. Likewise, natural events of life, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, represent changes in hormonal levels that are totally physiological,” he adds.
when something is not going well in our endocrine system
On the other hand, to the endocrinologist Nuria Vilarrasa, also the Badge of the SEEN, we question him about those signs that must warn us that something is not going well in our endocrine system.
Specifies this expert that the endocrine system is responsible for regulating many body functions, so when something is not right, the symptoms can be varied.
As indicated, the signs of a possible hormonal imbalance can include:
- Extreme fatigue
- Inexplicable changes.
- Alterations in mood.
- Sleeping problems.
- Skin changes.
- Loss of hair.
- Menstrual irregularities.
This doctor says that it is also possible to experience more specific symptoms depending on the affected hormone, such as sensitivity to cold or heat, tremor, or for example variation in the depository rhythm, which may indicate thyroid problems. “If these symptoms occur, it is important to consult a doctor,” insists this member of the Board of Directors of the SEEN.
How to achieve hormonal balance
In this sense, Vilarrasa emphasizes that “maintaining a healthy hormonal balance is crucial for general well -being”, and explains that it can be achieved through a healthy nutrient -rich diet, which support endocrine function, such as healthy fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates.
“Regular exercise is vital, since it helps regulate hormones such as insulin and cortisol. Make sure to sleep properly is also fundamental, since many hormones follow a circadian rhythm,” he adds.
At the same time, he argues that stress can help balance related hormones. “In specific cases, the Medical Council may be necessary to address hormonal imbalances with specific treatments,” recommends this endocrinologist.
What is the role of hormonal analysis
Ultimately, we ask Manuel D. Gahete what is the role of hormonal analyzes in this scenario, underlining that hormonal analyzes are evidence that measure hormone levels in the body, and that help diagnose their excess, deficit, or deregulation.
These are essential tools to identify problems in the endocrine system, as continues, and that may be causing symptoms such as fatigue, fertility problems, or weight changes.
“It is recommended to do a complete hormonal study when persistent symptoms are presented that suggest an imbalance, such as menstrual irregularities, inexplicable weight loss, or growth problems. They are also used to monitor conditions already diagnosed, such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (SOP), and to adjust hormonal treatments,” the SEEN member sets.
