Hormonal failure in women - signs

Currently, the problem of hormonal failures is quite urgent. This is due to uncontrolled reception of contraceptive methods by women, frequent abortions, harmful habits, emotional and mental overstrain, irrational nutrition, chronic diseases, especially endocrine.

And signs of imbalance of hormones are often detected not only in women of reproductive and elderly age, but also in young girls.

The role of hormones in the body of a woman

Hormones in the female body are designed to provide the main female function - reproductive, that is, conception, bearing and the birth of a child. To do this, each month, the egg matures and the corresponding changes in the endometrium and mammary glands. In order for this process to proceed normally, the body must maintain a certain balance between the various hormones. If this balance is violated by nature, then they speak of hormonal failure.

1. In the event that the body shows a deficiency of luteinizing hormone, the signs of malfunction appear in the first phase of the cycle, which leads to the fact that the female egg does not ripen.
2. If there is a shortage of follicle-stimulating hormone and progesterone, then in the female body there is no ovulation, that is, the egg does not leave the follicle.
3. A low level of progesterone leads to disturbances in the second phase of the cycle and implantation of the embryo becomes impossible.
4. Signs of hormonal disorders may also appear due to the increase in testosterone, thyroid hormones or the adrenal cortex.
