Aging is a fact of life. As we get older, our bodies go through changes. Some of those changes you can see, like aging skin, but others are more internal and can throw us off the balance if not treated.
One of those age-related issues is hormone imbalance. 80% of women experience hormonal imbalances at one point in their lives. However, this is not just a women’s health issue; it is also a man’s health issue as well. By the time a man reaches 40 years of age, they have lost half of the testosterone and growth hormone that they had at the age of 20.
Hormone imbalance can wreak absolute havoc on your body. Issues that you may think are just happening to you due to age can actually be a sign of hormonal imbalance.
Thankfully, there is a treatment to help with this issue called Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Hormone Replacement Therapy helps to re-regulate the body and support the hormones that you still have or replace them entirely since you are no longer able to naturally produce them.
So what are the signs of hormonal imbalance and signs that you need Hormone Replacement Therapy? We are going to go over 3 of the most telling signs in this article.
Unexplained Emotional Changes
Depression, mood swings, anxiety, and other unexplained emotional outbursts could be major signs of hormone imbalance. If you have reached menopause age or even pre-menopause age, you could be experiencing these emotions because your hormones are not producing enough to balance your body.
Sleep Problems
Are you extremely tired all the time, all of a sudden? Do you have night sweats or insomnia? Have you recently started having issues with sleep? Because hormones help to regulate the body, having an imbalance can throw off your sleep schedule. You might have restless sleep, too much sleep, or no sleep at all. Your energy levels will fluctuate, and you will feel more run down.
Don’t just chalk this issue up to “getting older” because your sleep issues can be prevented and resolved with HRT.
Unexpected Weight Gain
Again, another issue that shouldn’t be chalked up to “old age” is unexpected weight gain, especially around the hips and stomach. If you have experienced a massive change in your weight that isn’t average, this is a glaring sign that your hormones are out of whack. Your hormones control your metabolism, and when you underactive hormone production, your metabolism isn’t going to work as efficiently as when it is balanced.
Luckily, you can kickstart your metabolism again and maintain a healthy weight by balancing your hormones with HRT.
Other Symptoms Of Hormone Imbalance
Along with those 3 signs mentioned above, here are a few other symptoms you may be experiencing due to hormone imbalance:
- Hair thinning or hair loss
- Loss of libido
- Hot flashes
- Loss of bone density
- Difficulty concentrating
- Loss of muscle and strength
