Do antibiotics disturb your hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : In most cases, antibiotics do disturb hormone levels. Most antibiotics are metabolized in the liver and their presence can affect the rate of metabolism of estrogen and Progesterone for the user. Be sure to consult your doctor if irregular hormone levels are a concern.
