Hormone imbalances can be difficult to diagnose, and having imbalanced hormones can wreak havoc on the entire body. Once one hormone is out of whack, it throws additional hormones off, resulting in chaos. Symptoms will depend on which hormones are affected, but some general symptoms of hormone imbalance include mood swings, irritability, fatigue, weight loss or gain, depression, and more. Since the diagnosis of hormone imbalance can be challenging, it is sometimes necessary to seek alternative ways of having this issue diagnosed, and thermography is one of them. 

What is Thermography?

Thermography is an imaging test that uses heat (infrared radiation) to detect abnormalities throughout the body. Certain areas in the body emit more or less heat that shows up in certain areas of the body can signify that a specific condition is present. It is non-invasive and was originally used to help with the detection of breast cancer and other conditions, and now this imaging test can detect even more. Some women prefer thermograms because there is no exposure to radiation like with mammograms. 

How Does Thermography Diagnose Hormone Imbalance?

Various images will be taken of your body, including color and greyscale images. The trained practitioner will carefully evaluate the images, which can help with accurate diagnosis. Some people choose to use thermograms in addition to blood tests and other diagnostic tools to confirm their hormone imbalances. Once a hormonal imbalance is diagnosed, proper treatment can be sought. 

So, if you're tired of experiencing several seemingly unrelated symptoms but your conventional doctor has been unable to diagnose hormonal imbalance, you may want to consider thermography. Contact the professionals at CT Thermography, who can provide a thorough evaluation using their advanced thermography machine.
