Relief from Hormone Imbalance Symptoms at Dignity Health Central Coast

Your hormones allow organs and tissues to perform certain functions. Hormones control growth and development, sexual function, fertility and reproduction, emotions and moods, and the breakdown of nutrients in your body.

If you have one of these common hormone disorders, compassionate care that treats your body, mind, and soul is found at Dignity Health Central Coast: 

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that can cause irregular periods, ovarian cysts, weight gain, and fertility problems.
  • Thyroid disease includes hypothyroidism (too little hormone) and hyperthyroidism (too much hormone).
  • Ovarian insufficiency, also called premature ovarian failure, occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop working before age 40.

Genetics, medications, tumors, and aging also can impact your hormone levels and lead to hormone disorders.

An expert in gynecological conditions and hormone disorders at Dignity Health Central Coast can help you understand hormone imbalance symptoms and treatment options.
