Sex Hormone Imbalance

Meaning

Sex Hormone Imbalance describes a state where the circulating levels or the functional ratio of key reproductive hormones—primarily estrogens, progesterone, and androgens—deviate significantly from the optimal physiological range for an individual’s age and sex. This deviation can manifest in a wide spectrum of physical and psychological symptoms, affecting menstrual cycles, fertility, mood, energy, and body composition. Clinical evaluation of this imbalance is crucial for identifying underlying endocrine dysfunction, such as PCOS, menopause, or hypogonadism, and for guiding personalized therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring equilibrium.
