When to See an Endocrinologist: Recognizing the Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

  • Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women experiencing irregular periods, heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, or absence of menstruation may have hormonal imbalances related to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.
  • Fatigue and Low Energy: Persistent fatigue, lethargy, and difficulty concentrating, despite adequate rest, could be signs of hormonal issues, including adrenal fatigue or thyroid dysfunction.
  • Mood Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can affect mood and emotional well-being. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings may indicate hormonal imbalance.
  • Changes in Libido: Decreased libido or sexual dysfunction in both men and women can be associated with hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone or estrogen levels.
  • Skin and Hair Changes: Hormonal imbalances may manifest as changes in skin texture, acne, hair loss or thinning, and excessive facial or body hair growth (hirsutism).
