Hormonal disorders occur when there is an imbalance in the body’s endocrine system, which regulates essential functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood through hormones. Among the most common hormonal issues are thyroid disorders, which affect metabolism. These conditions can be caused by autoimmune diseases, tumors, genetic factors, or lifestyle issues, and they often lead to long-term health complications if left untreated.
