Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Hormonal problems are very common, but are poorly understood by many people. The science about hormones is called endocrinology. Human growth hormone is perhaps something that most people have heard something about, but diabetes and thyroid disorders are much more common. Before anybody takes hormones the person should be thoroughly checked by a licenced physician. Even hormone replacement therapy in menopause should not be done without first doing blood tests to see whether there is indeed a hormone imbalance requiring hormone therapy. Thyroid hormone is given only when the TSH test shows that there is hypothyroidism. If the cortisol hormone is low, hormone testing needs to be done to see whether there is an adrenal gland disorder, cushings syndrome, addisons disease, conns syndrome or pheochromocytoma. Menopause and andropause are big topics with pros and cons for hormone replacement. Breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men are serious potential side effects of hormone replacement. Insulin resistance is the buzz word when it comes to the hormonal changes associated with the metabolic syndrome. This page contains distribution tables with links to all of the major hormone imbalances. Click on any link and learn all of the details about the specific hormone disorder.
