Hormonal complaints: How do you recognize the signals?

Our hormones play a crucial role in how we feel physically and mentally. When these 'conductors' are out of balance, it can manifest itself in many ways and lead to various complaints. You may recognize some of the symptoms below, without knowing that they are related to your hormones.

Common complaints of hormonal imbalance

Hormonal imbalance can manifest itself in many ways, such as:

Emotional complaints: Mood swings, depressive feelings, irritability, a feeling of irritation and anxiety, and the feeling of burnout.

Physical complaints: Headaches, stomach aches, sore breasts, joint pain, thinning hair, and even a round face.

Energy and sleep: Fatigue, difficulty getting up, rapid breathing, night sweats, hot flashes, poor sleep and low body temperature.

Weight and metabolism: Difficulty losing weight, fat storage in the abdominal area, gaining weight, increased appetite, cravings for sweets and unstable blood sugar levels.

Skin and hair: Acne, skin tags, thinning hair and sometimes even a buffalo neck.

Menstruation and reproduction: Heavy bleeding, irregular cycle, no ovulation or absence of menstruation and low libido.

Other physical complaints: Feeling cold, dry eyes, skin, mouth and vaginal mucous membranes, vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections such as bladder infections.

Memory and concentration: Memory problems, a feeling of having a cloud in your head and difficulty concentrating.

Digestion and appetite: Digestive complaints, feeling very hungry and wanting to eat all day long.

Blood pressure and wound healing: Increased blood pressure and poor wound healing.

These symptoms can be subtle and sometimes severe, but together they can make you feel like you are not yourself. Many women find that they suffer from multiple symptoms at the same time and that this has an impact on their energy, mood, and zest for life.

The importance of hormonal balance

Although some symptoms are more common during certain stages of life, such as menopause, pregnancy or menstrual cycle, they can sometimes get out of hand and be a sign that the body is struggling to regain balance. Hormonal imbalances can also be the underlying cause of long-term symptoms, such as difficulty concentrating or feeling rushed. However, you don’t have to struggle through this alone.
