Your hormones are likely balanced when you are feeling great and looking your best. If the scale starts to tip and some hormones elevate while others dip out of normal range, you’ll likely feel it. Hormone imbalance can create a range of symptoms, includingfatigue, irritability, weight loss or weight gain, cravings, bloating, accumulation of belly and hip fat, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and just feeling like something is “off.”
Hormones are relatively easy to test through blood work, so you can check in with your doctor and discuss your symptoms. It can help to go into your appointment with a list so you don’t miss anything.
Use this list of common symptoms of hormone imbalance as a starting point and add anything that you are experiencing that isn’t listed:
- Low sex drive
- Irregular periods
- Painful periods
- Heavy periods
- Bloating
- Breast swelling and tenderness
- Fibrocystic breasts

Your doctor can determine the specific cause of your issues and help you get relief.
