Hormonal background is a set of levels and ratios of hormones in the body that regulate various physiological processes, such as metabolism, growth, reproductive function, emotional state and the functioning of internal organs. It is supported by the endocrine system, which includes endocrine glands such as the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries or testicles, pancreas.
Normal hormonal levels allow the body to work smoothly, but hormone imbalances can cause a number of health problems, such as weight changes, menstrual irregularities, insomnia, decreased libido, depression, or infertility. The causes of imbalance can be stress, poor diet, age-related changes, chronic diseases or the use of certain medications.
Maintaining hormonal levels includes a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, regular physical activity and stress management. In case of serious disorders, it is necessary to consult an endocrinologist, who may prescribe hormonal tests, therapy or other treatments, depending on the nature of the imbalance.
