Its Cause

Several factors can cause a hormonal imbalance. Some of these factors are stress, exercise, diet, birth control pills, environmental pollution, and even chemicals that you use for your household cleaning chores. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia can lower the levels of oestrogen and progesterone while increasing the stress hormones in the body.

Hormonal Cause

The different primary glands like the hypothalamus, thyroid, and pituitary can also become affected by abnormalities which in turn can cause changes in the levels of hormones being produced. Ovulation disorders can cause hormonal imbalances as well. These disorders occur when a high level of androgens or male sex hormones can be found in the body.
