What are endocrine disorders? What causes endocrine disorders?

The secretion of hormones and the nervous system that regulate metabolism and physiological functions are called endocrine. Under normal circumstances, the hormones in the body are balanced. When the balance is disrupted, it will cause endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders in women will seriously affect their health and life. So what causes endocrine disorders?

Classification of endocrine disorders

The human body secretes more than 75 hormones, each of which plays its own role in the body. 21-22 years old is the peak period of youth and also the period when the endocrine system functions at its peak. Starting from the age of 25, the amount of hormones secreted in the body begins to decrease year by year at a rate of 15% every decade. The organs and tissues of the human body begin to age and shrink, the skin becomes noticeably dull, and the spirit becomes poor. At the age of 60, hormone secretion is only about 1/5 of that in youth.

Symptoms of endocrine disorders

1. Skin deterioration

Many women have had this experience: many yellow spots and pigmentation suddenly appear on their beautiful face, and no matter how much cosmetics they apply, it doesn’t help. In fact, this is not just a skin problem. These pigmentation spots are also caused by adverse stimulation from external factors when the endocrine system is unstable.

2. Short temper

Women in menopause often become irritable, have mood swings, sweat, and have a bad temper, etc. This may be caused by a decline in women's endocrine function.

3. Gynecological diseases

Female endocrine diseases are very common. Endometriosis, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and menstrual disorders are all gynecological endocrine diseases. Some breast diseases are also related to endocrine disorders. Some facial pigmentation is also caused by gynecological diseases.

4. Obesity

"Even drinking cold water can make you gain weight," many people often express this sentiment. According to an endocrinologist, this may be related to the individual's endocrine disorder. Eating habits such as high-calorie, high-fat foods and not paying attention to dietary balance can also have an impact on the endocrine system.

5. Infertility

Some women have been married for many years and have normal sex lives, but still have no hope of getting pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor told me to adjust my endocrine system first. Endocrine system is actually directly related to monthly menstruation. Menstruation is caused by ovarian hormones stimulating the uterus and then the endometrium thickening and shedding. Every woman's mood, skin color, etc. have a certain direct relationship with menstruation. The reason why women live 5-10 years longer than men is because women have an additional detoxification system than men, which is the uterus.

6. Breast pain and breast hyperplasia

The main reason is endocrine disorders. The more important function of the breast is to promote its growth and development through the secretion of estrogen. Therefore, once the endocrine system is unbalanced or disordered, it is easy to cause breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.

7. Gray hair and premature aging

Premature gray hair may also be an endocrine problem. In addition, endocrine disorders, especially the decrease in sex hormone secretion, is an important cause of human aging.

8. Body Hair

Regardless of gender, the endocrine system in the body produces and releases both male and female hormones. The difference is that boys have more male hormones and girls have less male hormones, which results in their respective characteristics. However, when the endocrine system in the body is out of balance and women secrete too much male hormone, they may have symptoms of hirsutism.

9. Tinnitus

Menopausal women often complain of tinnitus, but hearing tests are normal. In addition to tinnitus, they also have some unexplained symptoms, such as tinnitus when touching the earlobes or tapping the scalp with their hands.

Causes of endocrine disorders

1. Physiological factors: Experts point out that the body's endocrine hormones generally become imbalanced with age. Generally, the younger you are, the less endocrine you have. But as they age, women tend to ignore it. Some women's endocrine disorders are caused by genetics.

2. Nutritional factors: Adequate and proper nutrition is the basic guarantee for the human body to maintain normal physiological functions. Nowadays, many female friends lose weight excessively, do not eat enough, and endocrine problems will appear one by one.

3. Environmental factors: Severe environmental pollution is another major factor causing endocrine disorders in women. In particular, the toxic gases in the air, after entering the human body, undergo a series of chemical reactions, indirectly leading to many problems such as menstrual disorders and endocrine disorders.

4. Emotional factors: Psychology is also an important reason. Experts from Beijing Jiayuan Hospital said that if a person is in a state of tension, it will be reflected in the nervous system and cause hormone secretion disorders.
