Hormones play an important role in a woman’s life. Hormones are working to full capacity when a girl begins to menstruate, each time she menstruates, during pregnancy and when a woman is enduring menopause. Some women report that pregnancy causes their eczema to flare-up, while other women see a great deal of improvement in their skin condition.
The human endocrine system consists of both hormone-manufacturing tissues and organs. Hormones are natural chemicals produced in one place, secreted into the bloodstream, then used by specific other target organs and systems. It is the hormones that enable the target organs to do their work. Some of the organ systems use hormones as well as their own internal control systems. Aging and body changes occur in the management of the systems are managed. Unfortunately, some tissues have a habit of developing decreased sensitivity to the individual hormone that controls them.
