What is hormonal?

Hormonal means something is being controlled by hormones, which are like tiny messengers in your body that tell different parts what to do.

Imagine your body is a big, busy playground, and hormones are the shout-outs that help everyone know when to play, rest, or run. For example, when you eat a sweet snack, your body sends out a hormone called insulin, which helps your body store the sugar from the snack so you have energy later.

Think of hormones like notes passed between friends in class. If one friend passes a note saying "Time for recess!" everyone knows it's time to go outside and play. In your body, hormones are like those notes, they help parts of your body know what to do at the right time.

When something is hormonal, it means these tiny messengers are working hard to keep everything balanced and running smoothly.
