Hormone deficiency occurs when your body doesn't produce enough of a certain hormone. Hormones are vital chemicals that regulate many essential body functions, so a lack of key hormones can have wide-ranging effects. Some potential impacts include:
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Trouble concentrating or fuzzy thinking
- Decreased sex drive or sexual function
- Mood issues like depression or irritability
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite diet/exercise
- Sleep disturbances or insomnia
- Hair loss, thinning hair, or dry skin and hair
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but younger people can also experience a deficiency.
Common causes include:
- Pituitary or hypothalamus gland dysfunction
- Hormone-producing tumors or cancer treatment
- Inflammatory diseases
- "Gee, some diseases cause real havoc with hormones!"
There are
blood and saliva tests available to check your hormone status. Based on the results, doctors may prescribe
hormone replacement therapy to get levels back up to an optimal range.
