What causes hormonal imbalance in women?

Our hormones are messengers for the body. They travel in our bloodstream and tell our bodies what to do. When there is an imbalance, you have either too much or too little of a certain hormone. Even a small change can have serious effects on your body and overall health. While it’s normal for some hormone levels to fluctuate throughout your lifetime, which may just be the result of natural aging, other changes can occur when your endocrine glands aren’t working well. This is where hormone replacement therapy comes into play.
