Most Common Hormonal Issues

Premenopause (Typically <35–40)

Most Common Hormonal Deficiencies:

  • Progesterone – often due to anovulatory cycles
  • Thyroid – subclinical hypothyroidism common
  • Testosterone – stress, OCPs, metabolic dysfunction
  • DHEA – adrenal dysfunction or chronic stress

Clinical Signs & Symptoms:
  • Anxiety, irritability, PMS
  • Breast tenderness
  • Cyclical migraines or mood swings
  • Spotting before periods (suggestive of luteal phase defect)
  • Sleep disruption (esp. during luteal phase)
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Low libido
  • Poor exercise recovery, decreased stamina
  • Hair thinning, brittle nails
  • Cold intolerance, low body temp (thyroid)
  • Fatigue or “wired but tired” feeling

Most Common Hormonal Pattern:

  • Estrogen: unpredictably high or low (rollercoaster)
  • Progesterone: steady decline
  • Testosterone/DHEA: variable
 

Classic Signs & Symptoms:
  • Vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats) Mood swings, anxiety, depression
  • Sleep disruption, early morning wakings
  • Brain fog, decreased mental clarity
  • Increased PMS severity
  • Irregular periods (shorter cycles, skipped periods) Breakthrough bleeding, spotting
  • Breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts
  • Weight gain (often abdominal)
  • Hair loss or changes in skin quality
  • Fatigue, worsening exercise tolerance
  • Decreased libido, vaginal dryness
  • Joint aches, increased inflammation

Key Hormonal Changes:

  • Estrogen drops significantly
  • Progesterone virtually zero (anovulatory)
  • Testosterone continues to decline
  • Thyroid resistance may emerge

Common Signs & Symptoms:
  • Cognitive changes: memory issues, word-finding difficulty Dry skin, eyes, and vaginas (mucosal tissues!)
  • Hot flashes and night sweats persist
  • Sleep disruption worsens (esp. mid-sleep awakenings) Mood lability: irritability, sadness, apathy
  • Decreased libido and arousal
  • Slowed metabolism, fat gain (esp. midsection)
  • Bone density begins to decline
  • Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia)
  • Dry, thinning hair

  • Vaginal atrophy: dryness, irritation, painful intercourse
  • Increased risk of UTIs and urinary incontinence
  • Poor wound healing and tissue integrity
  • Thinning skin, increased bruising
  • Accelerated bone loss (osteopenia/osteoporosis)
  • Cognitive decline may accelerate
  • Loss of lean muscle mass
  • Weight gain (visceral fat increase)
