The hormonal system, scientifically known as the endocrine system, controls nearly every bodily function. The endocrine glands monitor and regulate the production of #hormones, which act as chemical messengers by relaying signals between cells and organs. When the endocrine system is working correctly, its work goes largely unnoticed. However, when hormone levels become unbalanced or start to decline, women may begin to experience hormonal disorders, such as #menopause symptoms.
