Is It Your Hormones? Common Signs of Imbalance in Women and Men

Is It Your Hormones? Common Signs of Imbalance in Women and Men

Introduction

Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that affect nearly every part of the body—mood, energy, sleep, weight, and even sexual health. When these hormones fall out of balance, the symptoms can feel overwhelming and may be mistaken for stress, aging, or lifestyle issues. At Advanced Specialty Care & Med Spa (ASC), we help patients recognize the signs of imbalance and explore safe, effective solutions.

Common Signs of Hormone Imbalance in Women

Hormonal shifts are expected during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, but when levels are chronically off, women may notice:

  • Irregular or heavy periods

  • Hot flashes or night sweats

  • Vaginal dryness or low libido

  • Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety

  • Trouble sleeping

  • Unexplained weight changes

  • Fatigue or “brain fog”

Common Signs of Hormone Imbalance in Men

Hormone imbalance isn’t only a women’s health issue—men experience it too, especially with age or certain health conditions. Signs can include:

  • Low energy or constant fatigue

  • Decreased muscle mass or strength

  • Increased belly fat

  • Reduced sex drive or erectile dysfunction

  • Mood changes, irritability, or depression

  • Trouble concentrating

  • Sleep disturbances

Why These Symptoms Are Often Overlooked

Many of these symptoms overlap with common stress, aging, or lifestyle complaints. That’s why lab testing is essential. At ASC, we use a combination of comprehensive bloodwork and a detailed health history to determine whether hormones are contributing to your symptoms.

How ASC Can Help

  • Comprehensive lab testing onsite (in partnership with Labcorp at all three ASC locations)

  • Personalized evaluation by our providers trained in functional and integrative medicine

  • Treatment options that may include lifestyle guidance, supplements, or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) when appropriate

Final Thoughts

If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or disrupted sleep, it may be your hormones. At Advanced Specialty Care & Med Spa, we look deeper than surface symptoms to uncover imbalances and create a plan tailored to your health and lifestyle.
