Why Should You Have Your Hormone Levels Checked?

March 6, 2017 By Constance Tambakis-Odom

Metro MediSpa hormone imbalanceWhat is a hormone?

The first thing to know is what hormones are. Hormones are natural substances which are essential for people’s health. As time passes, hormone production decreases in the body. This reduction in hormones leads to many age-related conditions and diseases.

Hormones act on the cellular level. Maintaining the proper hormonal balance allows the cells to act younger.  Although hormone imbalances are found more in older people due to the aging process, hormone imbalances can also occur in young people.  In younger people, hormone imbalances are often a sign of a degenerative condition or disease.  Some conditions trigger the onset of cells aging earlier than is expected.

Why is Checking Hormone Levels Important?

Checking hormone levels should be part of an annual check-up.  Hormone Therapy can restore the youthful levels of hormones within the body. The gonadal (sex) hormones, thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones are the most important.  If these hormone levels are sub-optimal, then hormone therapy can easily be the solution. It is broadly believed that high levels of hormones increase the chances of getting cancer.  But, this is not true for everyone.  A discussion with a doctor will help decide if it is right for you.

People with advanced age will never have the hormone levels that they had in their teens, but a more youthful energy and libido are possible with hormone replacement therapy.

There are many stigmas about hormone therapy. Many times healthcare providers are cautious to recommend it. But, physiological and controlled doses of natural hormones can give good results. They help in maintaining the health, appearance, and functioning of the internal organs. Bio-identical hormone therapies do not exert any excess pressure on the body. They ensure that the youthful levels are restored.

Medical practitioners say that every patient is unique. So hormonal requirements are unique as well this is all the more reason to get hormone levels checked. Doctors can then tailor-make the treatment schedule for every patient.
