Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

During menopause, women experience different changes in hormones. It is inevitable, but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything that can be done about it.

For a start, it is good to understand better at least what exactly happens and how to spot hormonal imbalance symptoms.

Menopause itself shouldn’t be viewed as some disease, although it has a wide variety of symptoms. Menopause occurs when ovarian follicles that contain eggs begin to fall off quicker. Follicles become less sensitive to follicle-stimulating hormone, and thus ovulation becomes less frequent until at the end it disappears.

Most of these symptoms are related to a decline of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA. There can be numerous of them as each woman reacts to menopause different, including their severity and occurrence time.

It might lead or by also connected to hot flashes. They appear as red marking around chin and arms (mostly). For some women, the symptoms might look as early as their late 30s. Perhaps some of the symptoms need further explanation.

 

NIGHT SWEATS

Differently from ordinary sweats, appear only during the night even if the temperature, bedclothes, etc. are appropriate. This symptom is often occurring together with hot flashes; thus, it is difficult to separate, which is which. Hot flashes themselves are “- sudden waves of mild or intense body heat.” For some people it might be really

 

IRREGULAR PERIODS

This might indicate not only missed periods, but also a change of the blood flow.

 

ANXIETY

It is more complicated to find a possible link between hormones and anxiety. However, recent studies have shown that progesterone is also involved with the brain GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). It is “a is a calming neurotransmitter, helping us handle stress and anxiety.” Despite progesterone levels decline during menopause, GABA increases, thus making it harder to handle stress and anxiety.
