I might have some problems with my hormones level. Or my doctor thinks that it might be. I have no symptoms, I just wanted periodical exam. Some of analysis that are done to me, showed decreased levels of some hormones. Since I am not an expert on the subject I want to learn what hormones are and what their role in our body is.
