Hormonal imbalances happen when your body’s chemical messengers are not working in harmony. This can affect mood, energy, and sex drive. Visit our DOXXES store on Westheimer/Dairy Ashford to explore products that may support balance and comfort.
What Is Hormonal Imbalance?
A hormonal imbalance occurs when your glands make too much or too little of one or more hormones.
Types include:
- Superficial – short-term changes like cycle shifts
- Deep – long-lasting problems such as thyroid or adrenal issues
- Provoked – triggered by stress, medication, or lifestyle changes
Why Does Hormonal Imbalance Happen?
Mental causes include:
- Ongoing stress or anxiety raising cortisol levels
- Emotional trauma lowering sex drive
- Low body confidence affecting desire
Physical causes may include:
- Infections like UTIs or pelvic inflammation
- Life changes like menopause, puberty, or thyroid disease
- Muscle or organ issues like endometriosis or pelvic tension
Often, several causes mix together. For example, insulin resistance may lower mood and cause hormone problems at the same time.
