Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

The hormone levels in women can keep changing often. There can be cyclical hormonal changes during different phases of the menstrual cycle. There can also be significant hormonal changes during the various stages in a woman's life like pregnancy, lactation, menopause, etc.

One strong indication that a woman may have underlying hormonal imbalance is having irregular periods. Certain gynecological problems like polycystic ovarian syndrome, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, etc. can result in hormonal abnormalities and irregular periods.

Sex or foreplay are normal phenomenon and this doesn't result in any hormonal abnormality or any hormonal "imbalance".

Stress can be indirectly associated with hormonal fluctuations and can rarely result in hormonal problems.

Wish you all the best.

Hello again,

One of the common causes for pimples on the face is hormonal imbalance. Also, excessive oily / sebaceous secretions in the skin or the use of excessive cosmetics can also result in pimples.

Pimples are definitely not caused due to foreplay or sex.
