Hormonal Fluctuation

Meaning

Hormonal Fluctuation describes the normal, cyclical, or irregular variations in the concentration of endogenous hormones within the bloodstream over time. These variations are an intrinsic feature of the endocrine system, governing processes like the menstrual cycle, circadian rhythms, and stress response. Significant, non-physiological fluctuations can lead to noticeable changes in mood, energy, sleep quality, and metabolic function, impacting overall well-being. Understanding these natural rhythms is essential for diagnosing underlying endocrine dysregulation.
