What Causes Hormone Imbalances in Women?
Hormone imbalances can affect both sexes. Some hormones are characteristic of both sexes; others are more prevalent in one gender than the other. However, males produce small amounts of female hormones and women produce small quantities of male hormone as well. Hormone imbalances in women can result in symptoms that would be distressing to either sex, or can result in symptoms that are uniquely distressing to women–such as excessive facial hair growth or irregular menstrual cycles.
