    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.

Hormonal changes can significantly impact various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, and hair growth, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia.
