Body, Hormones and Wellbeing

Hormones play a crucial role in all bodies, but for biologically female bodies, some of them, such as estrogen and progesterone, are particularly significant. Here's how they affect different aspects of your life.

Your hormones influence your life more than you can imagine

Before we begin, let's understand together what hormones are. Hormones are essential for your body to function properly. Produced by endocrine glands, such as the thyroid and ovaries, hormones are substances that are released into the blood to reach different organs and tissues, and activate their bodily functions. These chemical messengers regulate sexual development, metabolism, mood, bone density, and more. The main hormones are cortisol, insulin, estrogen, testosterone, and adrenaline.

Hormones play a crucial role in all bodies, but for biologically female bodies, some of them, such as estrogen and progesterone, are particularly significant. Here's how they affect different aspects of your life:

  • Sexual development: During puberty, female hormones promote the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts and hair growth.
  • Menstrual cycle: They regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy: They support pregnancy and fetal development.
  • Menopause: They influence physical and emotional changes during menopause.
  • General well-being: Hormones also affect mood, metabolism, bone density, and libido.

If you feel tired, have strange mood swings, or notice that your menstrual cycle is irregular, it could be due to a hormonal imbalance. Don't worry, there are many professionals who can intervene to restore your well-being.

Why rely on a multidisciplinary team?

Hormones affect just about everything in your body, from mood to weight. Dealing with a hormonal problem therefore requires a 360-degree approach. Here are the professionals who can help you:

Gynaecologist

Your gynecologist is your first ally in understanding what is happening to your body. Thanks to his deep knowledge of the female reproductive system, he is able to identify the causes of imbalances and propose the most appropriate therapies.

Endocrinologist

The endocrinologist deals with all hormones, not just the female ones. His collaboration is essential to diagnose and treat disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Nutritionist

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in regulating hormone levels. A nutritionist can develop a personalized eating plan to support your well-being and counteract the effects of hormonal imbalances.

Pelvic floor physiotherapist

Many hormone-related disorders can also affect the pelvic area. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is particularly suitable for treating disorders related to incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and other problems aggravated by hormonal imbalances.

Psychologist

Hormonal imbalances can greatly affect your mood and quality of life. A psychologist can provide you with tools and strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and other emotional disorders.

By sharing information and evaluating different parameters, it is possible to identify the causes of hormonal imbalances more quickly and precisely.

Not only physical aspects are taken into account, but also psychological and emotional aspects, for a 360° well-being.

Better quality of life

Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach, it is possible to significantly reduce the symptoms of hormonal imbalances and improve your quality of life.

If you suffer from unexplained mood swings, chronic fatigue, or menstrual cycle disorders, you may be struggling with a hormonal imbalance. But you are not alone. Today, various disciplines, as you have seen, can offer increasingly sophisticated tools to deal with these disorders effectively. Trust a multidisciplinary team for complete and personalized well-being.
