Can hormonal imbalance be prevented?

Endocrinology

Are there steps I can take to minimize my chance of suffering from hormonal imbalance?

DOCTOR’S ANSWER (1)
Dr Marilyn Lee
Dr Marilyn Lee
Endocrinologist

Certain conditions can be prevented, whilst others can’t. For example, if you have thyroid autoimmunity (antibody against the thyroid gland), you cannot prevent yourself from developing abnormal thyroid function. If you have PCOS, a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a healthy body weight can reduce your chance of developing symptoms of PCOS.
