Hormone deficiency

What is hormone deficiency?

A hormone deficiency occurs when your body does not produce enough of a certain hormone. Hormones are messengers that control many vital body functions. When hormones become deficient, it can negatively impact your physical and mental health.

Some common signs and symptoms of a hormone deficiency include:

• Fatigue


• Weight gain or weight loss


• Mood changes like depression or irritability


• Muscle loss and decreased strength


• Bone loss leading to osteoporosis


• Hot flashes


• Sexual dysfunction


• Higher cholesterol

Some common hormone deficiencies include:

• Testosterone deficiency in men, leading to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, bone loss, fatigue, and mood changes


• Estrogen deficiency in women, often leading to hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bone loss, changes in cholesterol levels, and mood changes


• Thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, causing fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, muscle aches, and sensitivity to cold


• Growth hormone deficiency, which can occur at any age and lead to increased body fat, muscle loss, fatigue, poor concentration, and higher cholesterol

Diagnosing hormonal imbalances usually involves blood tests to check your hormone levels. Based on the results and your symptoms, your doctor can recommend lifestyle changes, hormone replacement therapies, medications, or natural supplements to restore optimal hormone levels.
