If you've been feeling unusually tired, struggling with brain fog, or noticing mood swings you can't explain, it may not just be stress or the daily grind. It could be your hormones. Hormonal imbalances are often behind many common health struggles, and they can affect everything from energy levels to mental clarity. As we go through different stages in life—such as perimenopause, menopause, or even general aging—our hormone levels fluctuate, sometimes leading to significant changes in how we feel physically and emotionally.
If you're experiencing symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, hot flashes, low libido, or mood swings, it may be time to consider Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). BHRT is a treatment designed to restore hormone balance, helping you feel like yourself again. Dr. Leveno, an experienced OB/GYN at Medical City Plano, specializes in customizing BHRT plans that are tailored to your specific needs, addressing both your symptoms and the root causes of your hormone imbalance.
Common Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
Many people start to notice the effects of hormonal imbalance in their everyday lives, but the signs aren't always obvious. If you’ve been feeling “off” lately, you may be dealing with one or more of these common symptoms:
-
Fatigue that Doesn’t Let Up
It’s normal to feel tired after a busy day, but if you’re constantly fatigued despite sleeping well or trying to rest, your hormones may be to blame. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all play roles in regulating energy levels. When these hormones are out of balance, you might feel exhausted or drained, even after a full night’s sleep. -
Brain Fog and Forgetfulness
Have you noticed a lack of mental clarity or trouble concentrating? Brain fog is a common complaint for those with hormonal imbalances, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Hormones like estrogen help support cognitive function, and when those levels dip, it can leave you feeling forgetful or mentally sluggish. -
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Hot flashes are often one of the most noticeable symptoms of hormonal changes. If you're experiencing sudden waves of heat, especially at night, it’s likely due to fluctuations in estrogen levels. These temperature changes can disrupt your sleep and leave you feeling uncomfortable throughout the day and night. -
Low Libido or Intimacy Struggles
A decrease in sexual desire can often be linked to hormonal changes. As your body’s levels of estrogen and testosterone fluctuate, you might notice a decline in libido or difficulty with intimacy. Restoring these hormones through BHRT can help reignite your energy and improve your connection with your partner. -
Mood Swings or Increased Anxiety
It’s not uncommon to experience emotional ups and downs when your hormones are out of balance. If you’re feeling more anxious, irritable, or experiencing mood swings that seem unexplainable, hormonal imbalance may be the culprit. By restoring hormonal levels with BHRT, you may experience more emotional stability and a greater sense of calm.
