Sexual hormonal imbalances

When abnormalities occur in hormonal functioning there are different changes in the body, leaving aside the different types of hormones, we will focus on the sexual ones, which are the ones that are related to our fertility. 

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) has a direct impact on the correct formation and maturation of the ovules, if the oocytes have poor quality, it is very difficult for fertilization to occur and if it does, there are high chances of miscarriage. In the case of the so-called luteinizing hormone (LH), it is what causes the egg to be released at the right time to be fertilized by a sperm. 

Estrogens are responsible for the correct development of the sexual organs, in addition, they are linked to the menstrual cycle, therefore, if alterations occur, there may be a lack of menstruation or anovulation, which would prevent pregnancy.

Progesterone, for its part, is responsible for providing the ideal conditions in the female body so that a pregnancy can occur, for example, it is responsible for the formation of the endometrium, the place where an embryo is implanted. 

Hormonal imbalances in any of these undoubtedly compromise our fertility. For example, they are responsible for conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), suffered by a considerable percentage of women of childbearing age.

In the case of men, the most important is testosterone, which is related to the formation of sperm. In women, it is also present but in a smaller quantity, in the same way, it fulfills the objective of regulating sexual desire.
