Irregular periods is the most common symptom of hormonal imbalance. It disrupts the hormonal activity that controls menstruation. What causes this? The imbalance between two hormones – estrogen and progesterone due to the strong effects of cortisol (stress hormone).

2. Breast Changes

It’s all about the estrogens! If you feel any change in your breasts for e.g denser than usual which means your estrogens are dropping or if they thicker than normal which means your estrogen’s going up.

You might have experienced a break out before your periods as well but if they seem to be getting out of control then chances are, you might have too many androgens acting up which causes your glands to work out a little too much.

7.  Low Libido

It all starts with a disturbed sleep and it is one of the most noticeable symptoms of hormonal imbalance. If you’re not having a quality sleep, your sex hormone production can slowly diminish.

8.  Insomnia
