Abstract

When a hormone is present in the bloodstream in excess or insufficiently, hormonal imbalances occur. Because of their crucial function in the body, even minor hormonal imbalances can have an adverse effect wherever in the body. Chemicals known as hormones are created by glands in the endocrine system. The right amounts of hormones are required for the body to function at its best. Contrarily, hormonal imbalance happens at least once or twice in a person's lifespan. However, with the fast-paced modern lifestyle of today, it has become more typical. It is more typical to experience hormonal imbalances during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy.
