The causes of endocrine disorders are complex and varied, mainly including the following aspects: 1. Lifestyle habits: Long-term late nights, irregular eating habits, excessive fatigue, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits can lead to disordered hormone secretion in the body, thereby causing endocrine disorders. 2. Age factors: With aging, especially after entering menopause, women are prone to endocrine disorders due to ovarian function decline and decreased estrogen levels. 3. Psychological factors: Prolonged anxiety, tension, excessive stress, and other negative emotions can affect the normal secretion of hormones in the body, leading to endocrine disorders. 4. Environmental factors: Severe air or water pollution and other environmental factors can affect the function of the endocrine system when these pollutants enter the body, leading to endocrine disorders. 5. Malnutrition: Long-term monotonous diet, excessive dieting, or picky eating and anorexia can lead to malnutrition, thus affecting the normal function of endocrine glands and causing endocrine disorders.
