10 Signs Hormones Are Out Of Control

[LoShiNi]

Hormones is a part of our endocrine system. They control many vital bodily functions, from going to the bathroom to some cosmetic details such as the rate at which hair grows.

If you suspect some hormonal problems, pay attention to these 10 warning signs. If any of them are recurring, consult a health professional.

1. Going to the bathroom more or less frequently

This may indicate a problem with the thyroid.

2. Your eyes look bigger

This signal is associated with hyperthyroidism.

3. Your hair stops growing quickly

Since hormones in the thyroids are in charge of hair growth, it may indicate a problem with them.


4. You forget things

This is one of the most recurring symptoms of people with hyperthyroidism.


5. You have dry skin

When your body doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone, the skin becomes dry.


6. You have fungal infections

Diabetes tends to disturb insulin hormone levels in the blood, thus increasing glucose and allowing these kinds of infections to appear.


7. Frequent urination

Diabetes and insulin imbalance cause the desire to go to the bathroom more frequently.


8. Your gums bleed

Once women fall pregnant, progesterone levels increase, causing bleeding gums.


9. Your feet are bigger

Again, progesterone is responsible for this sign. That’s because this hormone relaxes the ligaments, and subsequently, feet grow a little.


10. Metallic taste in the mouth

Again, this occurs during pregnancy. On this occasion, the hormone responsible is HCG (or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), which causes vomiting and nausea. It even changes the sense of taste, occasionally resulting in the sensation of a metallic taste in the mouth.
