There are several potential causes of hormone imbalances:
If you suspect a hormonal imbalance, it's important to see your healthcare provider to get tested. They may check levels of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones using blood, urine, or saliva tests.
Based on test results and symptoms, your provider can suggest lifestyle changes or treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Lifestyle changes may include adjusting diet and exercise, reducing stress, and improving sleep habits. Certain medications or hormone replacement therapy may also help restore optimal hormone levels.
