How to Understand Hormonal Problems: Follow Your Body's Signals
Doctors warn against the long-standing habit of people to treat themselves somehow and with whatever is available. Usually in such cases people diagnose themselves with the disease, prescribe the treatment themselves and then get offended with themselves.
There is another category of people who stubbornly ignore health problems.
In reality, you just need to notice in time the signals that a person’s body sends.
This will allow you to undergo an examination in time or seek help from a specialist.
For example, fat deposits in different parts of the body may indicate problems with hormones, writes the Telegram channel “Evil Doctor Filatov”.
What to look out for
First, fat on the hips and buttocks. This indicates high levels of estrogen, as well as a lack of progesterone.
Secondly, fat on the stomach and sides. In this case, experts recommend taking a test and checking the level of glycated hemoglobin. There is also a need to conduct a glucose tolerance test.
Thirdly, fat on the cheeks, back and stomach requires checking the level of cortisol in the blood.
Fourthly, if fat is evenly distributed throughout the body, and swelling is observed periodically, including on the face, then you need to check the thyroid gland, TSH and TPO antibodies.
However, treatment in each of these cases should be prescribed by a qualified specialist.
