Hormonal disorder

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Hormonal disorders result from insufficient or increased production of hormones by the individual glands (e.g. the gonads , the thyroid gland , the pancreas ). These glands are stimulated by the pituitary gland with signals (messenger substances).

Even minor, physiological hormonal disorders can have a very negative impact on general well-being, for example, during the menopause, a reduced production of estrogen by the ovaries / gonads or a tendency to be overweight or underweight if the thyroid function is not well regulated. Only a blood test ( hormone status ) gives more precise information as to which hormones are missing or which are produced too little or too much by your own body. A replacement of hormones with hormone replacement preparations is possible in some cases.
