I just want to know if there is any way to know if I should go and get my hormones checked out because I am suffering from achne that never goes away and my period comes pretty much once a month but I can't count and know when it is going to come that month.

Ok, a normal period comes every 28 days so if your period comes on the first of April, your next period is April 28. It's easy to check. if your period cannot be checked like this it's irregular. It seems u have a hormonal imbalance. here are the symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

Fatigue
Craving sweets or carbs

Heart palpitation
Breast pain

P.S. I have never tried their program cause Maca Root works great for me but i hear its good
Also may i suggest you cleanse your body of toxins, do a colon cleanse, parasite cleanse, kidney cleanse, liver cleanse, heavy metal cleanse, candida cleanse. Do a search on these cleanses and you will see how important it is to get them done. a Doctor will never tell you to cleanse your body or else you won't need them anymore. Good luck!

hey i suffer from the same thing, so if u find something out please share it w/me

Acne is a bacterial infection. It needs to be treated with topical antibiotics. As a last resort, oral antibiotics. Acne is not a symptom of any hormone imbalance.

An irregular period is quite normal too. It's not a sign of any serious hormone imbalance. The younger you are, the more irregular you are going to be. Although you state that you have period once a month. that sounds pretty darn regular to me.

I'm wondering what can cause the following symptoms:
hair loss, joint pain, cold hands and feet, headaches, tiredness, excessive sweating, nervousness, mood swings.

I'm a 21 year old female within normal weight and have experienced the above symptoms regularly.

I agree with Wink. it sounds like a thyroid problem. I'm hypothyroid and take medicine for it. I had all the symptoms you've listed except for excessive sweating. once I was diagnosed and prescribed medicine, I started feeling better after taking the very first pill.

Q. I’m a healthy 71-year-old woman, and I sweat a lot. I was wondering if it’s something I should discuss with my doctor.

A. Heavy sweating, or perspiration, is normal if you are exercising, are in a hot environment or are nervous. it also happens during menopause.

Healthy people sweat, but the amount varies widely. Some people inherit heavy sweating, especially on their palms and the soles of their feet. according to the American Academy of Dermatology, excessive sweating affects about 8 million Americans.

Hyperhidrosis — or sweating too much — can be caused by a health disorder related to your thyroid gland, nervous system or blood sugar.

You should go to a doctor if, suddenly, you begin to sweat much more (or less) than usual. other symptoms that should prompt a doctor visit are a change in body odor, the onset of night sweats for no obvious reason and sweating that disrupts your life.

Perspiration is the body’s cooling process. Glands in your skin produce sweat, which is a clear, salty liquid. most people have several million sweat glands distributed over their bodies. Sweat cools your body as it evaporates. when sweat mixes with bacteria on your skin, it can produce an unpleasant smell. Sweat, itself, is odorless.

If heavy sweating and body odor are problems for you, try over-the-counter antiperspirants and deodorants. If these products don’t work for you, your doctor may prescribe aluminum chloride.

In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Botox (botulinum toxin type A), a drug that erases wrinkles, to treat severe underarm sweating that cannot be managed by topical agents. Botox is injected into the armpit, temporarily paralyzing the nerves in the underarm that stimulate sweat production.

There has been an e-mail circulating on the Internet that links antiperspirants to breast cancer. the National Cancer Institute, the FDA and the American Cancer Society say that no existing scientific or medical evidence links the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants to the development of breast cancer.

Some believe that the myth could have been started by women who were told not to wear antiperspirants or deodorants before a mammogram. the instructions were intended to prevent residue from these products showing up in X-rays and being mistaken for an abnormality in the breast.

Here are some tips to deal with sweating and body odor:

– Don’t eat malodorous foods such as garlic. — cut back on caffeine, which can stimulate sweating.– Natural fabrics, such as cotton, leather and wool, let your skin breathe. Wear clothing made of these fabrics to permit perspiration to evaporate.– use foot powders to absorb sweat. — Change shoes and socks often.– Remove your shoes occasionally during the day to allow your feet to dry.– Because stress can produce perspiration, you should try meditation or other relaxation techniques to relieve your tension.– Shower or bathe more often to eliminate bacteria.
