Hormonal Investigations
Hormones are essential to your overall health. As a result, there are numerous symptoms that may indicate a hormonal imbalance. Many hormonal imbalance-related conditions can be treated.
Hormones are chemical messengers in your body. The endocrine glands produce powerful chemicals that travel throughout the bloodstream and instruct tissues and organs. These hormones play an important role in many of your body's major processes, such as metabolism and reproduction.
You have too much or too little of a certain hormone when you have a hormonal imbalance. Even minor changes can have a significant impact on your entire body. Consider hormones to be a cake recipe. There is an impact on the finished product when one ingredient is too much or too little. Some hormone levels fluctuate throughout your life and may be caused by natural aging.
Some common symptoms of hormonal imbalance are:
- Weight Gain
- Hump Of Fat Between The Shoulders
- Unexplained And Sometimes Sudden Weight Loss
- Fatigue
- Muscle Weakness
- Muscle Aches, Tenderness, And Stiffness
- Pain, Stiffness, Or Swelling In Your Joints
- Increased Or Decreased Heart Rate
- Sweating
- Increased Sensitivity To Cold Or Heat
- Constipation Or More Frequent Bowel Movements

Keep in mind that these are nonspecific symptoms. Having one or more of them does not necessarily indicate a hormonal imbalance. Some of these symptoms could also be caused by other chronic conditions. So, if you notice any noticeable changes in your body or energy levels, it's a good idea to consult your doctor.
