A member asked:
Can hormone deficiencies/imbalances cause chronic , severe eczema and asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hormone deficiencies/imbalances do not play a big role in causing asthma, but they can affect its severity. For instance, asthma in some women can worsen during pregnancy and that could be related to the hormonal changes creating a more pro-inflammatory state, but its not directly linked to its causation in the first place. Because asthma is multifactorial, both genes & environment play a big role.
