hormonal disorders
Hormonal disorders occur when the body produces too much or too little of a hormone, leading to various health issues. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. Common hormonal disorders include diabetes, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
These disorders can result from genetic factors, lifestyle choices, or underlying health conditions. Symptoms may vary widely, ranging from fatigue and weight changes to mood swings and reproductive issues. Diagnosis often involves blood tests to measure hormone levels, and treatment may include medication, lifestyle changes, or hormone replacement therapy.
