Hormonal Volatility

Meaning

Hormonal Volatility describes the state of pronounced, often rapid, and unpredictable fluctuations in the circulating concentrations of various hormones beyond their normal physiological rhythm. This instability, rather than a sustained deficiency or excess, can manifest as significant, erratic shifts in mood, energy, sleep quality, and physiological function. Clinically, it often relates to the dynamic interplay between the hypothalamic-pituitary axes and target glands, frequently observed during perimenopause or periods of chronic, unmanaged stress. Managing this variability is key to symptomatic relief and systemic stability.
