Hormonal imbalance happens when the body makes too much or too little of a hormone. Hormones are chemical messengers that control energy, weight, mood, sleep, periods, fertility, sex drive and muscle strength, so even a small change can cause symptoms across the body.
The hormones most often involved are thyroid hormones, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, cortisol and prolactin. Some changes are temporary, while others, such as menopause or an underactive thyroid, need ongoing care.
Common signs of hormonal imbalance are ongoing tiredness, weight gain or loss without a clear reason, mood changes, poor sleep and low sex drive. Women often notice changes to their periods, and men often notice lower energy, strength and drive.
Hormonal imbalance is caused by medical conditions such as thyroid disease, PCOS and diabetes, natural life stages such as menopause and ageing, and lifestyle factors such as stress, poor sleep, weight gain and some medicines.
A hormone specialist, called an endocrinologist, treats hormone problems, including thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and reproductive hormone conditions. Many people also see a hormone doctor at a medical clinic, who tests hormone levels and manages common problems such as menopause, low testosterone and thyroid changes.
A GP can order basic hormone tests, but a hormone doctor looks at all of your hormones together and treats the full picture.
Hormonal imbalance is tested with blood tests that measure hormones such as thyroid hormones, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, cortisol and insulin. The hormone doctor chooses the tests based on your symptoms, age and gender.
Blood tests take place in the same clinic. See our Hormone Test in Dubai, Female Hormone Test in Dubai and Male Hormone Test in Dubai pages for the full list of tests.

Hormone treatments are prescription medicines, so they are given only after a medical assessment and blood tests.
Some hormonal imbalances can be fixed for good, while others are managed long-term. Imbalances caused by stress, weight gain, poor sleep or a vitamin deficiency often settle once the cause is treated. Conditions such as an underactive thyroid, PCOS and menopause need ongoing care, with treatment that keeps symptoms under control. Results vary from person to person.
Your hormone consultation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, periods or sexual health, medical history, medicines and lifestyle. The hormone doctor then examines you, orders the right blood tests and explains your treatment options once the results are ready.

Hormone treatments are safe when a doctor prescribes them after proper testing and monitors you with regular blood tests. The doctor checks your medical history, family history and risk factors first, and explains the benefits and risks of each option.
The NHS states that the benefits of hormone replacement therapy usually outweigh the risks, and that the risk of serious side effects is very low. Testosterone therapy needs regular blood checks, and hormone treatment is not suitable for everyone.
