    hormonal imbalances due to malfunctioning adrenal glands

    Adrenal Disorders, also known as Adrenal Gland Disorders, refer to a group of conditions that affect the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline that regulate metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response. Common adrenal disorders include Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency), Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol production), and adrenal tumors. These conditions can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss or gain, and changes in blood pressure.
