Violations of the cycle of menstruation. If there is a violation of the hormonal background in the body of the woman, then first of all this is indicated by violations of the menstrual cycle. This can occur in painful menstruation, short-term, a small amount of discharge or excessive abundance, and menstruation may be absent altogether.
Determining whether there are any violations, it is worth paying attention to the regularity of the menstrual cycle, its duration, and how the woman feels during menstruation, before and after. Norm is the length of the menstrual cycle in 21-35 days.
From two to seven days, menstruation itself can last. Another important factor is the regularity in the duration of the cycle. If there are fluctuations in one or the other direction, this may indicate a violation in health, including hormonal disorders.
On the violation of hormonal function can speak such symptoms as sudden changes in blood pressure, especially intensified soreness of menstruation, frequent sharp dizziness, marked swelling, bloating, general weakness and weakness.
Appearance. Externally, hormonal disorders in women also appear. You should pay attention to such a factor as changes in weight. The period when you recruited or shed weight, perhaps, was associated with stress or some diseases? Bear in mind that an excess of adipose tissue affects the decrease in ovarian function, the same effect has a deficit in weight. Take a good look at your skin. The presence of acne, increased greasiness, most likely, can indicate dysfunction of the ovaries, which is accompanied by excessive allocation of male hormones. This is also evidenced by excessive hair. When there are stretch marks on the skin of women who have not yet given birth - this is also a clear sign that there are hormonal disorders
Pregnancy. Very often an obstacle to pregnancy can be hormonal disorders. The reason for this is the lack of the hormone progesterone, which takes part in the processes of the onset and development of pregnancy. Not just because progesterone is considered a hormone of motherhood. It is because of his lack of a woman can not get pregnant, or a fertilized egg can not hold in the uterus more than two or three days. Characteristically, the lack of this hormone can not affect the menstrual cycle, it can be normal.
Mammary gland. Experts believe that the mammary gland is the target for female sex hormones. Normal, when the breast does not have any pathological seals. From the nipple should not be allocated any fluid during menstruation. At this time, it can be sensitive and swell, but should not hurt. If the chest hurts, then in the body is not enough hormone progesterone.
Climacteric syndrome. The menopause period can also be accompanied by hormonal disorders. During the age-related rearrangement, the maturation of the follicles and the process of ovulation gradually ceases. At the same time, the release of hormones in the body is not interrupted even after menstruation ceases.
In the absence of hormonal disorders, the menopause occurs without accompanying the painful manifestations and without any complications. However, if there are hormonal disorders, the climacteric period accompanies the so-called climacteric syndrome, which manifests as insomnia, hot flashes, nervousness, irritability, high blood pressure, depressive condition. In some cases, this condition can be aggravated by pain in the joints, which is called endocrine arthritis, and the heart can hurt.
Causes of hormonal disorders
First of all, it can be due to heredity, genetic predisposition. In such cases, it takes a lot of effort to reverse the process of violations.
Another reason is experience and stress. The influence of the central nervous system directly extends to the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormonal production. And if the load on the nervous system increases, then it is fraught with hormonal disorders. Accordingly, first of all, this damages the reproductive function, the process of maturation of the follicle, which is a preparation for pregnancy. The female organism is so arranged that, in the event of any violations, the first thing that goes wrong is the ovaries.
Decreased immunity affects the hormonal background. If the childhood of young girls was painful, in particular, such guests as angina and ARI were frequent, this negatively affects the hormonal sphere at an older age. Immunity, which is constantly "podbivaetsya" stresses, diseases, malnutrition, overwork, parasites, immediately gives rise to a failure in the woman's reproductive system.
A major impact on the hormonal sphere is the transmitted infections, including sexually transmitted infections. If there are parasites in the body of the woman, then this also affects the immune defense negatively, in addition, the parasites secrete a large number of toxins that harm the entire body, including the reproductive system.
Negative influence is also due to any surgical interventions in the abdominal cavity and in operations on the female genital area. It is especially important to remember that the most common cause of female hormonal disorders that lead to infertility are abortions, which are often accompanied by curettage of the uterus.
