As we age, our hormone production changes. In many people this leads to hormone imbalances. These imbalances create a variety of symptoms in women and men.
At Affirm Health Center, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy that uses tiny bioidentical hormone pellets. Each treatment is customized to the patient, and we’ve had great success with these treatments for our patients.
In this blog, we address some of the signs and symptoms that could be signaling you have a hormone imbalance.
What are the signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women?
Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Because they control such a wide range of our body’s operations, even a small imbalance can create an assortment of problems.
Here are some of the main symptoms of hormone imbalance in women:
- Fatigue
