Hormonal Deficiency
Hormones are key players in the body’s overall function. As chemical messengers, they can affect different processes inside the body, including the growth and development of bones and other specific operations like metabolism, sexual functions, mood swings, etc.
Hormonal imbalance can lead to fragile bones and becoming prone to bone pains all over. In some cases, it can be alarming. Hormone deficiency resulting in bone loss and fractures might be expected for older people, but they can also affect the young, especially women.
Low estrogen count can be notorious for causing loss and breaking up bone tissues. It can affect young women with irregular menstruation and those already in their menopausal stage.
Parathormone imbalance can lead to enlargement of the parathyroid gland found in the neck and may gradually affect the function of the spinal cord, causing pain and discomfort.
High Cortisol (called the stress hormone) increases sugar levels in the bloodstream and may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. In addition, bone loss is also a possible and indirect effect of age when a person has consistently high cortisol levels.
