What vitamins will help normalize hormonal levels?

Better to go to a sanatorium

The Dubki sanatorium treats many specific female diseases, including various forms of hormonal imbalance. We treat hormonal imbalance
If you have symptoms of this disease, do not delay treatment, consult a doctor at your place of residence and then come to our sanatorium.

Treatment is carried out within the framework of the Endocrine Diseases Treatment Program using modern physiotherapeutic methods and natural factors of the Undora resort.

Drug treatment

Many women's problems are solved through the use of special medications made on the basis of hormones. If the level of male hormones in the female body is elevated, the gynecologist may prescribe the use of hormonal medications that have a synthetic base.

However, many representatives of the fair sex do not want to take hormonal drugs. According to doctors, only such remedies can restore hormonal levels. The use of various vitamins and dietary supplements cannot solve the problem. Therefore, do not refuse to use medications. Quite often, doctors prescribe hormonal contraceptives to women as a treatment method. This way, you can not only restore your hormonal levels, but also not worry about pregnancy.

The role of hormones

Everyone knows that hormones play a huge role in the life of every living creature, and humans in particular.
This is especially true for women. Female hormonal background
After all, in fact, not only the health, but also the appearance, as well as the psychological state of a woman depends on the hormonal background. As you know, the basis of a woman’s endocrine system is estrogen and progesterone. It is these two hormones that regulate all events occurring in the body, from the menstrual cycle to skin condition and mood.

The hormonal system is normally a very finely tuned system with a rather fragile balance: any external factor, be it a cold, stress or diet, can disrupt it and sometimes lead to quite serious problems. In turn, hormonal imbalance in women can result in such significant problems as dysmenorrhea, migraines, neuroses, infertility and even cancer.

Hypothalamic hormones

Hypothalamus

- a section of the diencephalon located downward from the thalamus under the hypothalamic sulcus and representing a cluster of nerve cells with numerous afferent and efferent connections.

The vegetative center, which coordinates the activities of various internal systems, adapting them to the integrity of the whole organism. He:

• Maintains an optimal level of metabolism (protein, carbohydrate, fat, water, mineral) and energy.
• Regulates the temperature balance of the body.
• Regulates the activity of the digestive, cardiovascular, excretory and respiratory systems.
• Controls the activity of all endocrine glands.

Liberians

– hormones of the hypothalamus, which activate and stimulate the release of tropic hormones of the pituitary gland (tropic hormones are hormones of the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn stimulate the work of the peripheral endocrine glands):

• Corticotropin releasing hormone ACTH (CRH). – stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone.
• Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) – stimulates the release of the thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH.
• Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH).
• Folliberine-releasing hormone-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH-RH).
• Somatotropin-releasing hormone (SRH).
• Prolactoliberin-prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH).
• Melanoliberin-releasing hormone-melanostimulating hormone (MSH).

Statins have a inhibitory effect on the release of pituitary tropic hormones.

• Prolactostatin

  – prolactin inhibitory factor (PIF) – suppresses prolactin production

• Melanostatin

  — inhibitory factor of melanostimulating hormone (MIH).

• Somatostatin

  - somatotropin-inhibiting factor (SIF) - has a suppressive effect on the process of growth hormone production

Transported to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland:

• vasopressin;
• oxytocin.

What a glitch

What is this failure?
The main thing is hormonal balance.
A woman’s body has two main sex hormones: estrogen (it makes a woman soft, feminine, affectionate) and progesterone (this hormone is responsible for a woman’s reproductive function.

It prevents the onset of menstruation, ensures pregnancy and gestation, and also regulates blood pressure and sugar levels and fat metabolism).

If the balance of these two hormones is disturbed, problems arise in the body, and therefore it is extremely important to recognize hormonal imbalance in the early stages and take appropriate measures.

Parathyroid hormone

Most often, a person has two upper and two lower parathyroid glands (PG), but their number can normally reach 12. These glands weigh only 0.05-0.12 g, their size varies from 2 to 7 mm in length, and the width and thickness do not exceed 2-3 mm.

Pancreatic parathyroid hormone has the following effect on target organs:

• intestines

  – helps absorb calcium from food;

• bones

  – ensures the leaching of salts and their transfer into the blood;

• kidneys

  – inhibits reabsorption and removes phosphorus, prevents the deposition of calcium phosphate in tissues, and retains calcium in the body.

All the “efforts” of the hormone are aimed at increasing calcium in the blood. If this element is not enough, then the pancreatic cells actively produce parathyroid hormone and secrete it into the blood.

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance

Therapeutic procedure
Symptoms of imbalance of sex hormones largely depend on the age and individual characteristics of each woman.
Depends on age
So, for teenage girls, the main symptom of hormonal imbalance is menstrual irregularity. In mature women, hormonal imbalance manifests itself in general malaise, headaches, mood swings, and menstrual irregularities. It can lead to infertility or pregnancy failure. In older women, hormonal imbalance, in fact, has symptoms similar to those during menopause, which is an imbalance of sex hormones.

When such problems arise, a logical question arises: what to do in case of hormonal imbalance? If any symptoms appear that may indicate hormonal imbalances, you must immediately consult a doctor, undergo the necessary tests and undergo a course of treatment.

Hypothalamic hormones

The pituitary gland (pituitary gland) together with the hypothalamus makes up the hypothalamic-pituitary neurosecretory system. It is a brain appendage. The pituitary gland is divided into adenohypophysis (anterior lobe, intermediate and tuberal parts) and neurohypophysis (posterior lobe, infundibulum).

The organ consists of two lobes: the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and the posterior

. Each of them has its own responsibility for certain functions of the body. Thus, the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) is larger than the posterior lobe and is responsible for the production of protein hormones such as:

• Prolactin

  , involved in the production of milk in the mammary glands during lactation. This is the most famous of the hormones.

• Somatotropin

  , taking part in the growth of the human body. By the way, its excess provokes excessive growth, and its shortage, naturally, delays it.

• Gonadotropic hormone

  participates in the synthesis of sex hormones, both male and female.

• Thyroid-stimulating hormone

  , ensuring normal functioning of the thyroid gland.

• Adrenocorticotropic hormone

  stimulates the adrenal cortex.

Neurohypophysis

- this is the posterior lobe of the organ, synthesized in the hypothalamus descend there:

• oxytocin, which provides muscle contraction of organs such as the intestines, mammary glands (during milk production during lactation), bladder and gall bladder, and uterus (during labor). A large amount of it is produced in the female body during childbirth and lactation;
• vasopressin, which prevents dehydration of the body by retaining fluid in it, and also reduces the sodium content in the blood, actively removing it from the kidneys.

Disturbances in the functioning of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus can be caused by a tumor, vascular diseases of the brain, trauma, surgery, blood loss, and congenital developmental anomalies. They manifest themselves in the form of insufficient or excessive production of hormones.

Treatment of hormonal imbalance

We take tests
Before starting treatment, you need to make sure that the problem is a hormonal imbalance.
The analysis will show
And for this, in turn, you need to pass the necessary tests. In almost any laboratory you can now take a blood test for hormones without any problems, even without a doctor’s referral. The answer form usually contains norms, by comparing with which you yourself can determine the degree of deviation of a particular indicator from the normal value.

Then you need to consult a doctor. Most often, treatment of hormonal imbalance in women takes a fairly long period of time and is carried out through synthetic hormonal drugs. Now there are a lot of similar drugs that have a minimum of side effects, but it is worth considering the fact that the endocrine system is a delicate thing that does not tolerate any interference. If hormonal imbalances are minor, it is best to avoid taking synthetic hormones if possible, as this can negatively affect the body's ability to produce its own hormones. Which will ultimately lead to a kind of hormonal dependence, like insulin.

Pancreatic hormones

Pancreatic hormones

:

• insulin;
• glucagon;
• c-peptide;
• somatostatin;
• Thyroliberin;
• gastrin.

Insulin

is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas.

Functions of insulin

:

• metabolic: increased uptake of glucose and other substances by cells;
• activation of key enzymes of the glucose oxidation process (glycolysis);
• increase in the intensity of glycogen synthesis (deposition of glycogen is accelerated by polymerization of glucose in liver and muscle cells);
• a decrease in the intensity of gluconeogenesis through the synthesis of glucose from various substances in the liver;
• anabolic: enhances the absorption of amino acids by cells (most often valine and leucine);
• increases the transport of potassium, magnesium and phosphate ions into cells;
• increases deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and protein biosynthesis;
• accelerates the synthesis of fatty acids with their subsequent esterification (in the liver and adipose tissue, insulin promotes the conversion of glucose into triglycerides, and with its deficiency, fat mobilization occurs);
• anti-catabolic: inhibition of protein hydrolysis with a decrease in the degree of their degradation;
• decreased lipolysis, reducing the flow of fatty acids into the blood.

Effects of gastrointestinal hormones

Come to the sanatorium

Hormonal imbalance is treated at the Dubki sanatorium.
In case of serious disorders, taking medications is necessary, because otherwise you risk ultimately getting infertility or a serious cancer.
Consult a doctor
The same applies to pregnant women: lack of treatment and refusal to take medications, which is quite common among women during pregnancy, can result in spontaneous abortion. But for teenage girls, it would be better to avoid taking hormonal drugs and lean towards treatment with softer, gentler alternative means: homeopathy, psychotherapy and others.

It is also worth refusing to self-prescribe certain medications, since only a doctor can competently select the appropriate remedy for you, while an incorrectly selected drug may not only not cure, but also aggravate the existing problem. In the vast majority of cases, hormonal imbalance in women is treated quite successfully, despite the fact that the treatment process usually takes a long period of time.

When prescribing treatment, it is best to consult with your doctor about traveling to a sanatorium. The doctor can recommend to you which sanatorium is best to go to with your illness. We can offer you treatment at the Dubki sanatorium in Undory.

Thyroid

Thyroid

- an almost symmetrical organ that looks very much like a butterfly. It is located at the level of the larynx and upper trachea and is projected onto the anterior surface of the neck. The gland lies directly on the thyroid cartilage of the larynx (hence the name). The thyroid gland consists of two lobes connected by a narrow isthmus. The outside of the organ is covered with a dense capsule, which ensures its fixation in a certain position and protects the gland from damage.

The main thyroid hormones are thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

. Their functions:

• Regulation of all types of metabolism - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and microelements.
• Maintaining a stable body temperature through participation in heat exchange processes.
• Promotes the release of water and potassium from the body.
• Stimulates the growth and development of the body.
• Activate the activity of other endocrine organs - adrenal glands, reproductive and mammary glands.
• Regulate the activity of the central nervous system.
• Take part in the formation of immunity.
• Control body weight.
• They influence hematopoietic processes.

Hormone C of thyroid cells - thyrocalcitonin

. It has a much smaller range of effects than iodine-containing hormones and performs the following functions:

• Regulates the exchange of calcium and phosphorus.
• Reduces calcium levels in the blood.
• Helps calcium ions move from blood plasma to bone tissue.
• Delays the release of calcium from bones, regulates the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, thereby balancing the processes of bone destruction and formation.
• Inhibits the excretion of calcium ions in the urine.

The main task of thyrocalcitonin

– ensuring the growth of bone tissue, which is especially important in childhood and young age. The level of this hormone increases during pregnancy and during bone fractures, which is necessary for the restoration of bone tissue.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR HORMONAL VALUE USING TESTS

If there are symptoms of disruption of the endocrine system, a blood test from a vein is prescribed for indicators of hormones of the thyroid and pancreas, pituitary gland, and sex hormones. They donate blood in diagnostic laboratories. It is worth noting that depending on the laboratories, the normal decoding result may differ.

Different doctors evaluate hormone tests. Moreover, experts can explain the result in different ways, based on certain decoding standards.

Signs of hormonal imbalance in women

It is believed that women are more sensitive to their health. This is due to the need to conceive, bear and raise healthy offspring. What symptoms should alert a woman and require contacting a medical specialist?

1. Changing the shape and size of the breast . Too much weight loss or, conversely, weight gain always affects the condition of the breasts and the shape of the face. If you are losing weight, your face and chest will lose weight first - this is caused by insufficient production of female hormones.
2. The skin has become dry and less elastic . Seasonal phenomena of this kind (for example, when central heating is turned on in an apartment) are quite acceptable. But, if everything is in order with the air humidity in the room, and you drink enough liquid, then pathological dry skin should alert you.
3. Frequent headaches are a sign of insufficient production of the hormone estrogen.
4. Problems with the same female hormones (in particular, serotonin) can cause disruptions in the menstrual cycle or a complete cessation of menstruation, even if the woman is in her childbearing period.
5. An unstable emotional background (mood swings, irritability, nervousness) is possible due to a lack of serotonin, the production of which drops before the start of the menstrual cycle (known to many as PMS) or during menopause.
6. Changes in hormonal balance can be easily tracked by increased hair growth in places unusual for women: on the chest, stomach, back, mustache above the upper lip, beard, etc. Such cases indicate intensive production of testosterone, a male hormone, and a decrease in estrogen levels.
7. Intense sweating will also indicate hormonal problems, and the smell of sweat often changes - it becomes sharp and unpleasant.
8. A lack of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for proper healthy sleep, can cause insomnia : women especially suffer from this in the period preceding menopause and during subsequent hormonal stabilization.

It is impossible to ignore the body’s signals: hormonal imbalances will lead to disruption of the functioning of life-supporting organs and serious consequences for health in general. If you observe one or more symptoms, you must undergo a full examination at a medical facility.
