Hormonal imbalance overview
Hormones are endogenous chemicals that act as messengers to regulate normal physiologic actions such as reproduction, circadian rhythm, mood, metabolism, sex, and growth. A hormonal imbalance is described as when an individual is producing too little or too much thus resulting in homeostasis disruption. It has been shown that even minor changes (classified as chronic or temporary) in hormones can lead to long-term complications and illnesses.
