Hormonal imbalance symptoms can range from mild issues to disabling symptoms.
The imbalance may be part of the normal aging process and may be affected by a genetic predisposition or it may be secondary to the food we eat, exercise or stress. Often the symptoms may be masked by medications that are prescribed for anxiety, depression, weight gain, or sleep issues.
It is well known that women who are premenopausal have less issues with coronary artery disease. Men are far more predisposed to heart attacks and stroke in the forties and fifties. However, when women experience menopause the protective effects of estrogen diminish. Post-menopausal woman’s incidence of coronary artery disease quickly catches up to men.
Other possible symptoms of hormone imbalance in women are increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.
It is well known that older women experience bone loss. The incidence of osteoporosis is seen in one-tenth of women age 60, one-fifth of women age 70, two-fifth of women age 80 and two-thirds of women age 90. Estrogen replacement therapy is a recognized and common treatment to conserve bone mass and prevent osteoporosis related fractures in post-menopausal women.
The effect of hormone therapy on cognition is controversial. It is well documented that two-thirds of Alzheimer’s patients are women. Researchers are suspicious that there may be a hormonal contribution as part of the disease process. Multiple studies have suggested that there may be a role in the use of estrogen in promoting memory and learning. Most recently the Cache County Study has suggested that women who initiate hormone therapy earlier than later have improved cognitive test scores.
