Endocrine System Dysregulation

Meaning

Endocrine System Dysregulation describes a state where the delicate balance and coordinated function of the body’s hormone-producing glands are disrupted, resulting in abnormal hormone levels or impaired tissue responsiveness. This clinical condition is not necessarily a complete failure but a loss of precise control, where feedback loops are compromised, leading to excesses or deficiencies in critical signaling molecules. Manifestations can be wide-ranging, affecting metabolism, reproduction, growth, mood, and stress response. Addressing this dysregulation is central to restorative hormonal health.
