DHEA and Adrenal Hormone Imbalance
There are different hormonal changes. One of those that are worth looking closer is DHEA and adrenal hormone imbalance.
It has different effects on each suffered, and mostly these are women in their menopause. If we first look at the adrenal gland imbalances, you can see that there are numerous reasons for this problem. Most commonly, it is diagnosed by salivary hormone testing and blood samples. It is possible even to experience adrenal stress disorder. Adrenal imbalance can also influence the way women deal with menopause and particular symptoms. Adrenal glands and fat cells in women after menopause become “the primary source of oestrogen production.” It also influences the overall stress level. Did you know that oestrogen receptors can be found in a woman’s brain, blood vessels, brain, central nervous system and even skin? No wonder that the decline of oestrogen level due to age influences practically every part of the body.

Symptoms of adrenal imbalance
- Hot flushes yet there is no apparent cause discovered despite that it is one of the most common symptoms that occur in menopausal women. The fault might be in oestrogen levels as the symptom usually disappears after oestrogen therapy.
- Mood swings, especially depression, irritability, memory and concentration problems. The main reason for that is the low level of oestrogen that automatically “reduce the production of the anti-anxiety neurotransmitter GABA, leading to increased anxiety.”
- Chronic fatigue might appear quite often due to low levels of adrenal hormones that happen naturally due to menopause.
Adrenal gland main role is to produce hormones for metabolism or to put it mildly, optimal living. These two glands located in the front of the neck produces more than 50 different hormone types and no wonder that “Without proper hormonal production and balance, it is impossible for anyone to feel good.” When adrenals get weak, the production of hormones is affected.
In a case of adrenal insufficiency, commonly used is adrenal hormone replacement therapy but that’s not the only solution. Each case needs a deeper evaluation.
If we look at DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone, it also peaks during adulthood. DHEA production is low also in menopausal women.
LOW DHEA SYMPTOMS
- Muscle loss
- Weight loss
- Osteoporosis
- Depression
DHEA is a hormone which produces the adrenal glands located about the kidneys. The most common of its symptoms is adrenal fatigue and the lover the DHEA level gets, the most severe fatigue is. Did you know that no matter what age, men always have more DHEA hormone than women? It is possible to enhance hormone development by exercising at least a bit. You can also consume DHEA from supplements. But that won’t entirely solve the problem or work in the long term. Otherwise, it is a good start.
