When it comes to hormonal failure, the first associations arise with women. Indeed, the female body is more sensitive to the environment. This is due to the physiological and psycho-emotional differences between a man and a woman. If stresses temper a man, make them more competitive, learn to be a leader, then stresses take a woman's strength and provoke psychosomatic diseases, including hormonal disruptions. It is important to recognize the hormonal failure in time to start the recovery process. If this is not done, there may be complications in the form of various diseases and pathologies.
How do I know that I have hormonal failure
Hormonal failure does not have pronounced symptoms, so people sometimes do not even know what is happening with them not okay.Despite differences in physiology, the hormones of men and women are determined by the complex interaction of the central nervous system, the neuroendocrine system of the brain, the endocrine glands of the body, sex hormones and adrenal hormones. Violation of one of the systems leads to the failure of the entire chain. For example, problems with thyroid cause abnormal insulin production. Being in constant stress, the adrenal glands secrete adrenaline, and this in turn leads to disruption in the work of sex hormones in women. Do not forget that the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of Russia live in areas poor in iodine. Thyroid nodules and hormonal intoxication in such a situation is common. What should pay attention to understand that you have a hormonal failure? Women should be worried if they have the following symptoms:
- Weight loss without diet and increased physical exertion. Yes, a flat stomach and the absence of cellulite on the back of the hands will delight any woman. But weight in itself cannot decrease. Most likely, the reason for this is a hormonal failure.Examples are weight loss during stress, loss of a loved one, during a divorce or separation. Weight loss is caused in such cases, adrenaline attack. Sometimes the reason lies in the oversupply of thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland. A side effect of thyroid attack is dry skin and hair, an unhealthy gleam in the eyes. In this case, you have a direct road to the doctor, and as soon as possible.
- Constant body temperature 37C-37.5C. It does not bother at all, only people with closely spaced vessels turn pink cheeks. In fact, the normal body temperature of 36.6 ° C, everything else indicates a malfunction in the body.
- Heart palpitations, and in a calm state for no reason. Or nagging pain in the heart, tingling, or a feeling of a frozen heart. At the same time, all analyzes are in order, the ECG is perfect, and no heart scars were detected.
- Tremor of the limbs, usually the arms. Sometimes the tremor covers the whole body, it even seems that all the organs are shaking inside. Trembling hands in a young healthy person indicate a neurosis or hormonal failure.
- SweatingThere are people who are prone to excessive sweating, but if this attack has been discovered recently, this indicates a serious restructuring of the body's lymphatic system.
- Insomnia or sleepiness. Any sleep disturbance indicates a malfunction of the body. If you can not fall asleep for a long time or fall asleep quickly, but wake up early in the morning and can no longer fall asleep, this indicates an increased amount of adrenaline in the blood. The problem must be solved, because adrenaline is a signal of stress, and long-term stress leads to the development of the disease.
- Increased nervousness, dissatisfaction with life, a sense of hopelessness. Of course, everyone has moments of weakness, but if they become regular, you should sound the alarm. It is quite possible that the hormone that has become numbed is to blame.
- Increased greasiness of hair and skin. This is typical for adolescents, because they are experiencing hormonal storms due to puberty. But in an adult formed person this should not be.
- Painful periods. Yes, sometimes critical days are painful, it is typical for adolescents under 17-18. But in adult women, algomenorrhea, accompanied by unbearable pain, indigestion,irregular pressure, palpitations and a sharp deterioration in health, can not be the norm. If all of the above has a 30-45-year-old woman, she urgently needs a gynecologist.
The male body is not as delicate as the female one, but hormonal disruptions also occur in the strong half of humanity. Here are their signs:
- Reduced sexual desire. It’s absolutely normal if a young man (under 50) thinks about sex several times an hour. Norm if he thinks about sex at least a few times a day. But completely abnormal, if a man does not think about sex at all. This indicates a serious violation in the production of sex hormones.
- Female obesity. Its features - the deposition of subcutaneous fat on the chest, waist and hips. Far more normal, but no less unsightly, is a convex belly-watermelon and thin male legs with narrow hips. If the fat layer appeared around the nipples, and the male breast is more like the breast of a teenage girl, you need to shout "guard" and run to the endocrinologist. Further worse.
- Depression, a sense of uselessness and worthlessness.This effect is caused by malfunctions in the thyroid gland.
- Voice change, it becomes high or low, wheezing, deaf, "pipe".
- Changes in secondary hair (hair loss in the groin, armpits).
