What Are The Symptoms Of Hormonal Imbalance?

I believe I have symptoms of hormone imbalance. Acne and facial hair along jaw lines. Some are like cysts. Fatigue, sense of imbalance, watery eyes sometimes burns. Although it may not be related aches have increased within my knees and elbows. I can't remember things like I use to and focusing has been an issue as well.

Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. going by the symptoms which you have provided it could be a possible problem with pituitary or thyroid gland [or both].

2. Check with a gynecologist [if female], or Endocrinologist since initial problem with low thyroid level could be there or even independent PCOS [polycystic ovarian syndrome] may be present as in both condition acne/facial hair, fatigue, is associated.

3. hormonal imbalance related to low thyroid can cause or aggravate joint pain/muscle cramping, so taking natural anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric, ginger, garlic, vitamin C can ease arthritis pain

PS. As your age can't be deduced let me clarify that Hormone imbalance does occur naturally, such as in puberty, menopause, and perimenopause or may also be caused by toxins or an unbalanced lifestyle, so check with your primary care physician to exclude the same so that appropriate management can be started. [perhaps the most common medical treatment of hormonal imbalance is the prescription of bioidentical or synthetic hormones. This is known as hormone replacement therapy, HRT]
