Hormonal shifts
Topic
Hormonal shifts refer to the natural or pathological fluctuations in the levels of hormones, which are vital signaling molecules that regulate physiology and behavior. These variations commonly occur during major biological transitions such as puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, but can also result from endocrine disorders. Significant shifts in hormone levels can profoundly impact mood, metabolism, physical development, and overall homeostasis.
