Hormonal Imbalance in Women

Hormonal Imbalance in Women at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi

Female hormonal imbalance can affect every part of a woman’s life, from menstrual regularity and fertility to mood, energy, and long-term health. At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our gynecology and women’s health team provides specialized care for women experiencing symptoms related to estrogen, progesterone and other reproductive hormone changes. We focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans that support your cycle, fertility, and overall wellbeing.

What Is Female Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormonal imbalance in gynecology refers to changes in the normal levels or rhythm of reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, prolactin and others. These changes can disrupt the menstrual cycle, ovulation, vaginal health, mood, weight, and fertility. Hormonal imbalance may occur at any age, including during adolescence, reproductive years, after childbirth, and around menopause.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Women

Every woman’s body is unique, yet some symptoms suggest that hormone levels may be out of balance. At Elyzee Hospital, you should consider a gynecology consultation if you experience:

Irregular periods: very short or long cycles, skipped periods, or unpredictable bleeding.
Heavy or very light menstrual flow: clots, flooding, or spotting between cycles.
Painful periods: cramps that affect daily activities.
PMS or PMDD symptoms: mood swings, irritability, breast tenderness, bloating, headaches.
Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
Acne, oily skin, or increased facial/body hair.
Hair thinning on the scalp.
Low libido or discomfort during intercourse.
Vaginal dryness or recurrent infections.
Hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbance.
Difficulty conceiving or recurrent early pregnancy loss.

Gynecological Conditions Linked to Hormonal Imbalance

At Elyzee Hospital, our gynecology team frequently diagnoses and manages hormonal imbalance as part of conditions such as:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, difficulty getting pregnant.
Ovulatory disorders: cycles without ovulation that affect fertility and cycle pattern.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and PMDD: moderate to severe emotional and physical symptoms before the period.
Perimenopause and menopause: hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep problems, and cycle changes.
Premature ovarian insufficiency: early decline in ovarian function and periods stopping before age 40.
Thyroid-related menstrual irregularities: overactive or underactive thyroid affecting the cycle.
Postpartum hormonal changes: cycle changes and symptoms after childbirth or breastfeeding.

When You Should See a Gynecologist at Elyzee Hospital

You are encouraged to book a consultation at Elyzee Hospital if you notice:

Persistent irregular cycles for three months or more.
Very heavy bleeding, large clots, or bleeding that causes anemia or extreme tiredness.
Severe PMS or mood changes that affect work, relationships, or daily life.

Hormonal Imbalance Diagnosis at Elyzee Hospital

Our gynecology specialists at Elyzee Hospital use a structured, evidence-based approach to identify the cause of your symptoms:

Detailed consultation: menstrual history, pregnancy history, family history, and lifestyle factors.
Physical and gynecological examination: assessment of pelvic organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
Hormone blood tests: tests may include estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, AMH, prolactin, thyroid function, insulin, and androgens.
Pelvic ultrasound: evaluation of the uterus and ovaries to look for PCOS, fibroids, or other structural issues.
Additional tests if required: metabolic profile, vitamin levels, or further imaging based on your clinical picture.

The goal is to understand the full picture, not just one lab value, and then design a plan tailored to your symptoms, age, and fertility goals.

Treatment Options for Hormonal Imbalance at Elyzee Hospital

Treatment plans for hormonal imbalance are always individualized. At Elyzee Hospital, your gynecologist may recommend one or more of the following:

Cycle regulation: medications or hormonal therapies to regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce heavy or painful bleeding.
Targeted treatment for PCOS: cycle regulation, insulin-sensitizing medications, weight management plans, and skin/hair-focused therapies.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): for selected women with menopausal symptoms or certain hormone deficiencies, after careful risk–benefit assessment.
Non-hormonal options: for women who prefer or require alternatives due to medical reasons.
Fertility-focused care: ovulation induction, timed intercourse or referral to advanced fertility treatments when needed.
Lifestyle and nutrition support: guidance on weight management, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction to support hormonal balance.
Long-term follow-up: monitoring of symptoms, lab results, and treatment response to keep your plan safe and effective.
