What is a Hormonal Imbalance?

A Hormonal imbalance in women can present a variety of symptoms and affect every woman differently! Some may experience mild symptoms while others may experience bloating, fatigue, irritability, hair loss, palpitations, mood swings, problems with blood sugar, trouble concentrating, infertility — these are just a few symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Treatment Options for Hormonal Imbalances

Some hormonal shifts are normal, like monthly fluctuations of sex hormones responsible for menstruation and ovulation or the changes that occur during pregnancy. Menopause is another time for a normal hormonal shift in a woman’s life. Many women may experience weight gain, mood swings, night sweats, and diminished sex drive during this time. Other times these fluctuations may be due to a medication or a medical condition.

In any case one of the most effective and recommended options among doctors is Lab Testing, Lab Testing can not only determine a hormonal imbalance, but also pin point where the imbalance is and have our Naturopathic Doctor provide insight on an effective treatment plan. Other treatments that may be paired with Lab Testing to help relieve symptoms include acupuncture, auriculotherapy, IV therapy, supplements and more!
