Seeking timely treatment for hormonal imbalances is crucial because prolongued deficiencies raise risks for various disorders over time. Major consequences of leaving hormone conditions unchecked include:
Deficiencies in hormones like testosterone, estrogen, DHEA have cardiotoxic effects making cardiovascular problems more likely.
Low testosterone, estrogen, or growth hormone accelerate bone loss, heightening susceptibility to osteoporosis and fractures.
Estrogen deficiencies in menopausal women detrimentally impact aspects of brain health, increasing likelihood of eventually developing Alzheimer’s disease or other neurocognitive disorders.
