Currently, women often face a hormonal failure. Most women are dismissive of this phenomenon. This attitude should be avoided, if only because it is hormonal failure that can cause problems with childbearing function and cause the development of "female" diseases. Proceeding from this, timely detection and treatment of this phenomenon for women is very important.
Causes
Hormonal failure in the female body usually occurs during menopause. In some cases, the cause may be a feature of the hormonal glands or the menstrual cycle. There are also other reasons. For example, if the body does not produce enough of the hormones that are needed to make the body work normally. This phenomenon is most often found in women of less than 40 years of age. Nevertheless, in recent times, similar violations occur and younger women. And the number of people facing this problem is growing all the time. This is due to the fact that modern women, because of their amusement, do not have time for their health. Even if the health problem is obvious, some women still do not pay much attention to this, until it becomes completely bad.
Progesterone and estrogen are the most important female hormones. Even a slight violation of their ratio in the body is a hormonal imbalance. In girls, estrogen levels tend to rise during puberty. The causes of hormonal failure in young women are different. The cause may be malnutrition, an incorrect lifestyle, an early onset of menopause. Hormonal imbalance can cause and the use of hormonal contraceptives, fatigue, stress and other unfavorable factors. The use of hormonal drugs causes hormonal failure in the body.
In women who are over 40 years of age, the cause of hormonal imbalance is most often the onset of menopause, during which the formation of eggs ceases, due to which the body does not receive enough estrogen. The lack of estrogen is expressed in irritability, in night sweats, severe fatigue, hot flashes. If the cause of the hormonal malfunction are natural factors, then it is not possible to restore the hormonal level.
In young women, hormonal failure indicates a disruption of the body. In this case, hormonal failure should be treated. Hormonal failure in young women is often observed after childbirth. But in this case, no additional intervention is required, since the balance of hormones, as a rule, is restored through time itself. But if the hormonal failure occurred after the abortion, then it is necessary to give it special attention, since the consequences can be unpredictable.
Often, the hormonal balance becomes the cause of the development of the following diseases - uterine fibroids, migraine, asthma, fibro-cystic breast tumors, polycystic ovaries, atherosclerosis.
