Glossary Hormonal Changes

variations in hormone levels affecting bodily functions and processes

Hormonal changes, also known as hormonal fluctuations, refer to variations in the levels of hormones in the body. These changes can occur naturally due to life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, or due to medical conditions and treatments. Hormonal changes can significantly impact various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, and hair growth, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia.
