Symptoms of disease - violation of hormones

Hormones are the biologically active substances produced in the body specialized cells or organs (glands of internal secretion) and providing meaningful impact on the activities of other organs and tissues. The man has a well-developed system of such gland (hypophysis, adrenal glands, sexual, thyroid, etc.), which by means of hormones released into the blood, are involved in the regulation of all vital processes of growth, development, reproduction, and metabolism. The activity of the biosynthesis of one or the other hormone is determined by the stage of development of the organism, its physiological condition and needs. So, the secretion of the hormone depends on the age, stage of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy.

Each of hormones affect the body in a complex interaction with other hormones. The hormonal system, together with the nervous system provides the activity of the organism as a whole. The chemical nature of the different hormones, proteins, peptides, derivatives of amino acids, steroids, fats. Hormones, the synthesis of which is occupied by the endocrine system, provide for our physical, sexual and mental maturation, allow the body to adapt to environmental conditions. Only the action of the hormones we have to, for example, the constancy of the content of glucose in the blood and other vital functions.

Hormones have different chemical structures. This leads to the fact that they have different physical properties. Hormones are divided into the water - and fat-soluble. Belonging to some of these classes of causes their mechanism of action. This is because the fat-soluble hormones can safely penetrate through the cell membrane, which consists mainly of bilayer lipid.

Hormones fulfil three known of important functions:

1) Makes it possible and provide the physical, mental and sexual development. For example, with the lack of thyroid hormone thyroxine in the embryonic period (with a deficit of iodine in the organism of the mother) is developing the disease cretinism. The idiot suffers mental, sexual and physical development; in the abundance or lack of pituitary hormone somatotropin develops gigantism or dwarfism, i.e. suffers physical development, with a lack of the male sex hormone testosterone in the fetal period, from developing on the genotype man's individual is formed by the individual with the secondary sexual characteristics of the female type.

2) Hormones provide the organism's adaptation to changing conditions. For example, under stress, is allocated brain with a layer of the adrenal hormone adrenaline, modifies functions of the organism to the new conditions, increasing the strength and frequency of heart rate, respiratory movements, there is a redistribution of blood from the internal organs and skin to the muscles and brain, increases the formation of glucose, etc.

3) Hormones maintain the constancy of the internal environment of the organism homeostasis. For example, as many as three hormones maintain a constant amount of calcium in the body. When boost the yield of the calzitonina - parathyroid hormone is developing a disease in the early stages which sharply increases the mobility of joints (patients can make unnatural poses, found leg behind her head, twisting spiral). Into force of the increased production of calzitonina is «washing out» of calcium from the bones. Losing calcium, the bones become first flexible, then fragile, brittle, there are multiple fractures.

Which diseases there is violation of hormones

Violation of hormones is a manifestation of the existing in the body of hormonal disorders and can be caused by different reasons. The violation of hormones affects not only the condition of the reproductive system of women, but may also cause the deterioration of their physical and emotional well-being.

Serious violation of the hormone may even lead to the fact that a woman of a certain period will not be able to get pregnant. Especially affects the ability of the conception and the normal course of pregnancy lack of sufficient number of the hormone progesterone. If as a result of hormonal failure of the number of progesterone decreases, the diagnosis of this condition can with the help of laboratory tests for hormones. Guess the absence of a sufficient number of progesterone can be regularly using the method of measuring the basal temperature. In the norm of the level of basal temperature changes, depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle. If at the beginning of the menstrual cycle she is on the level of 37 C, rising a little in the period of follicular maturation, before the ovulation basal temperature should drop slightly. This is explained by the effect on the female body of the hormone estrogen. While the influence of progesterone is manifested increase of the basal temperature after ovulation to the performance of a 37.6 were 38.6 Degrees. Regularly constituted graphics basal temperature can guess about the hormonal fails if there are not characteristics of its performance in the different phases of the menstrual cycle. This is the reason for the consultation of the obstetrician who can send to conduct laboratory tests for hormones.

Not less serious influence can provide a violation of hormones and the older women in menopause. Hormonal failure and subsequent hormonal disorders can lead to the development of women climacteric syndrome, and it is fraught with the manifestation of it has the following pathological symptoms: high tides, increased nervousness and irritability, unstable emotional state, insomnia, increased blood pressure, pain in the joints, pain in the heart. Such changes in the emotional state of women may lead even to the development of depressive States. That is why for the normalization of hormonal failure and hormonal disorders in some cases are used hormone replacement therapy.

If the violation of the hormone is manifested in women of reproductive age, but after it reaches the age of 30-35 years, in the course of diagnostics can be identified and reduced activity of the ovaries. Often enough it is violations in the work of the ovaries can trigger hormonal failure, because lead to insufficient production of hormones. Sometimes hormonal failure can lead to the absence of a milf, or to change their nature. May change as the volume of discharge, and intensify their pain. Affects hormonal failure and the duration of menstrual bleeding. If at a certain regular duration of the menstrual cycle of the woman suddenly notice a sharp jump in one direction or another, that is, the menstrual cycle is much longer or Vice versa is too short, then this is a reason for the appeal to the gynecologist.

In General, women do not forget that any existing problem of women's health, including hormonal failure, can affect not only the state of the reproductive system, but also on overall well-being. This is why, when available symptoms of violations of hormones, even short-term, it is necessary to promptly react to the state of their health, in time to consult a specialist and obtain appropriate treatment.
