Endocrine glands are hormones secreted by certain glands or organs in the human body, which are carried throughout the body through the bloodstream to regulate growth, development, and physiological functions. These glands that can secrete hormones are called endocrine glands.
The main endocrine glands in humans include the pituitary gland, pancreas, hypothalamus, thyroid, adrenal gland, parathyroid, and sex glands. These glands secrete hormones that regulate various physiological processes such as growth and development, reproduction, metabolism, aging, and illness.
When these endocrine glands and tissues undergo pathological changes, resulting in hormonal secretion disorders, it disrupts the balance of the body's regulatory system, thereby leading to a series of endocrine diseases.
Gynecological endocrinology is a term referring to diseases that affect the female reproductive system and ovaries during their development, maturation, and decline. These conditions are caused by disturbances in the hormone secretion functions of the ovaries.
Endocrine disorders in the female genital organs can lead to a variety of diseases, primarily manifesting in various types of menstrual disorders, abnormalities in puberty development, sexual development abnormalities, ovarian function decline, and infertility.
What are the symptoms of gynecological endocrine diseases? Gynecological endocrine disorders are a very common problem occurring at various stages in the human body.
Symptoms vary by phase in women: from the onset of menarche, endocrine imbalance leads to abnormal qi and blood flow, resulting in symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, growth retardation, premature puberty, and amenorrhea.
Mature women with hormonal imbalances may experience problems such as melasma, dull complexion, obesity, breast tenderness or lumpiness, and breast cancer.
Endocrine disorders in women of childbearing age can lead to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and infertility.
Postmenopausal women with endocrine disorders are prone to ovarian dysfunction and related conditions such as constipation, irritability, hyperlipidemia, premature ovarian failure, menopausal syndrome, and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
In addition, some women may experience symptoms such as flushed cheeks, dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, depression, insomnia, irritability, anxiety, nervousness, vasomotor headache, and hypertension.
Gynecological endocrine disorders, how should they be managed? In addition to seeking medical treatment for the condition and undergoing pharmacological treatments, it is also necessary to pay attention to dietary adjustments, exercise, and rest in daily life.
Here are several ways to regulate endocrine imbalances in daily life: Consume more soybeans and their by-products, as they contain abundant plant estrogens. This can help balance the estrogen levels in the body and effectively prevent conditions such as breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.
Stay up late, make sure you get a good night's sleep.
Regularly staying up late or having irregular sleep habits can lead to metabolic imbalances, which can harm one's health and cause accelerated aging.
Take a bath and give yourself a massage.
Bathing and massage can promote blood vessel constriction and dilation, relieve physical and mental fatigue, maintain balance in the body, and keep lymphatic fluid and blood circulation smooth. This effectively helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body.
However, those with poor heart health should not take hot showers frequently; instead, they can opt for a hot foot bath as an alternative.
Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can boost energy levels and help burn calories, reduce weight, and speed up metabolism.
Endocrine disorders can lead to breast diseases, as the endocrine glands in the human body include the ovaries and mammary glands, making the likelihood of endocrine-related breast diseases very high.
During the peak period of estrogen secretion in women aged 30-50, endocrine disorders, imbalances in estrogen levels, and accumulation of metabolic waste can lead to breast discomfort, mammary hyperplasia, and breast cancer among other breast diseases.
Today's office-bound women, who face excessive work and stress, are at an increased risk of breast diseases, especially those related to endocrine regulation and breast care.
Maintaining regular check-ups every six months can help detect breast issues early and prevent the onset of malignant diseases.
