When you get hormonal imbalance as a teenager should you let it be or should you treat it with balancers?

It depends on how severe the imbalance is.

Have your doctor run a homone level test on your blood so he can prescribe the correct amount. Hormones are a very delecate balance. One hormone directly effects the production of other hormones. Too little or too much of particular homones can cause death. Be very very careful.
