Although many times we do not relate it, some physical changes, such as the appearance of dark circles or sudden weight gain or loss may be due to a hormonal imbalance that it is convenient to monitor

Perhaps you are experiencing a series of symptoms that are a sign of hormonal imbalance, although you may not even know it.

Take note of these symptoms that are a sign of a problem of this type and see if it could be your case.

The first thing to keep in mind is that a hormonal imbalance can occur more easily than you think.

The hormonal balance is very fragile and can be out of adjustment due to natural causes or related to certain changes in the environment or in the body.

This imbalance can also be a sign of a malfunction of the exocrine or endocrine organs. The exact cause can only be determined by an endocrine physician.

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance

1. Acne

If you have acne and you maintain good hygiene on your skin, perhaps the problem is another and is related to a hormonal imbalance.

And it is that pimples can be a consequence of poor skin care, but also of other issues such as an unhealthy diet or the menstrual cycle in women.

Many times, it is simply a hormonal problem.

2. Weight gain

Sudden weight gain is also often associated with a hormonal problem.

• Keep in mind that, while some people manage to lose weight quickly, others gain kilos even by diet and exercise.

This may be from hormones.

• If you suffer from a hormonal imbalance, not only will you not lose weight, but you will also not be able to increase it if that is what you want.

3. Increased fatigue

If you notice that you are getting more and more tired this may be due to a hormonal imbalance. And it is that in many occasions this is a cause of bad sleep.

• Even people who sleep like a baby 8 hours a day can look tired for no apparent reason.
• This in many cases is due to the hormone progesterone. If you feel very tired, you can know its concentration by doing a blood test and see if it is at normal levels.

4. Excess sweating

Excess sweating is also a hormonal issue. However, you should bear in mind that excessive sweating is not always related to this factor.

However, it will be important to check the hormones, especially if the sweating is accompanied by a sensation of heat.

5. Dark circles

If you have particularly dark circles under your eyes, so much so that no foundation helps you get rid of bags, it may be due to a hormonal imbalance.

In that case you will see that it also affects sleep.

• Keep in mind that chronic insomnia can be the consequence of a deficiency of testosterone in men and progesterone in women.

6. Depression

Depression is another symptom that would show a hormonal imbalance.

It usually occurs in women near their menstrual period, during pregnancy, and at menopause.

If you notice that,  suddenly, you feel invaded by sadness and apathy, your hormones are not properly regulated.

7. Breast changes

If you have noticed changes in the breasts, you may find yourself facing a hormonal imbalance and you should go to the doctor to treat this properly.

You must bear in mind that the density of the soft tissues of the breasts is reduced due to a lack of estrogens.

However, this is not the only consequence. If you have an excessive amount of estrogen, lumps can also appear in the breasts.

If you notice any of these symptoms, do not hesitate to visit your doctor.

8. Hair loss

Hair loss is another symptom of hormonal imbalance.

If you find that not even the best shampoos help reduce the amount of hair that falls out, it may be due to a hormonal problem. Keep that in mind.

9. Excess hair

Contrary to the previous case, if you have excess body hair it can also be due to an excess of hormones.

The dark hair on the chest, face, back of hands and other little areas common in the case of women may indicate that there is a hormonal disorder that can be more serious than you think, so keep that in mind.
