3 Surprising Signs of Hormone Imbalance
Some hormonal changes come with well-known symptoms. For example, as estrogen levels dip with age, many women know to brace for hot flashes.
Not all of the signs of a hormonal imbalance are equally well-publicized, though. In fact, if you’ve been experiencing notable changes in your body without another explainable cause, your hormones could be to blame.
Fortunately, we can help. Here at Legacy Pain and Regenerative Medicine in Plano and Addison, Texas, Dr. Trace Alexander and our team offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Here are a few surprising signs you might benefit from talking with us about this treatment.
1. Mood changes
As they get older, many people expect the physical changes that come with hormonal decreases that accompany aging. But hormone imbalance can impact your mental state just as strongly.
Many women experience mood changes during perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve been feeling increasingly anxious or you’ve been struggling with depression, your hormones could be to blame.
The same is true for men. As testosterone levels decrease with age, you might experience emotional changes like depression and lower self-confidence.
2. Hair changes
Your hormones have a surprisingly strong link to your hair. Hormonal imbalance can cause hair thinning, but it can also cause hair growth, particularly on new body areas. Women experiencing hair growth on their face or chin might have too many male hormones in their system, for example.
All told, if you’ve noticed changes in your hair, your hormones could be behind it.
3. Unexplained weight changes
The hormonal changes that come with menopause are directly linked to weight gain. In particular, you might notice that you gain more weight in your abdomen.
Hormonal imbalance can similarly impact men, contributing to weight gain.
To make this matter worse, hormone changes can also contribute to muscle loss.
Addressing hormone imbalances
In addition to these surprising symptoms of a hormone imbalance, these shifts can include all of the unwelcome things you might expect, like:
- Low libido
- Low energy
- Hot flashes and night sweats (for women)
- Sleep troubles
If all of this sounds familiar, it’s time to talk to Dr. Alexander. Here at Legacy Pain and Regenerative Medicine, he offers personalized hormone replacement therapy. That means Dr. Alexander evaluates your hormone levels to determine where you’re imbalanced. Then, he tailors a treatment to give your body what it needs to recalibrate your hormone levels and relieve these unwanted symptoms.
