Hormone deficiency can significantly impact your health and wellbeing. Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones regulate many essential bodily functions. When you have low levels of these key hormones, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood changes, and trouble concentrating.
There are a few potential causes:
If you're experiencing troubling symptoms, see your doctor. They'll review your health history and order lab tests to check hormone levels in your blood. For example, they may test TSH, free T4, estradiol, testosterone, FSH, and LH. This helps identify any imbalances or deficiencies.
Hormone | Test |
---|---|
Thyroid | TSH, Free T4 |
Estrogen | Estradiol |
Testosterone | Total Testosterone |
Pituitary | FSH, LH |
Treatment depends on the specific hormone that's low. For mild cases, lifestyle changes like improved diet, exercise and stress management can help. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly used to treat more significant deficiencies. This involves taking estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid hormones to restore normal levels.
Deficiency | Treatment |
---|---|
Estrogen | Estrogen replacement therapy |
Testosterone | Testosterone replacement therapy |
Thyroid | Levothyroxine (synthetic thyroid hormone) |
