Hormonal abnormalities can be influenced by various factors such as poor diet, stress, medical history, heredity, and environmental contaminants. Additionally, they can be induced by factors like thyroid drugs, birth control pills, synthetic hormone replacement therapy, insulin injections, etc.
Hormonal imbalances may also cause:
