Hormonal dysfunction is a health problem that in some women is linked to menstruation and can produce symptoms such as weight gain, acne and excess body hair.
The most common hormonal dysfunction in women is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a genetic and hereditary disease that leads to the production of ovarian cysts. These cysts are responsible for the symptoms mentioned above, in addition to increasing stress in women and levels of infertility. Diabetes, thrombosis, hypertension and heart disease are also some of the diseases that more easily hit these women.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be totally neutralized with the use of contraceptives, but it is not enough for a woman to choose any pill and feel that she will be cured. You need to take specific medications and be followed closely by a doctor who is always re-evaluating you.
In men, hormonal dysfunction can lead to problems such as andropause and infertility due to inadequate secretion of testosterone, a change that can occur at any age but is more common after age 40. Often, no treatment is necessary because the symptoms are subtle.
