Is poor sleep due to endocrine disorders?

Patient's question:

Poor sleep, many spots have appeared on both sides of my cheeks. I currently work night shifts, could it be due to endocrine disorder? How can I adjust to fade the spots on my face?

Doctor's answer:

Consider endocrine disorders; this includes imbalances in sex hormones, adrenal cortical hormones, insulin, thyroid hormones, etc. Any abnormality in hormones can be referred to as endocrine disorders. Diagnosis is primarily conducted through functional confirmation, pathological confirmation, and etiological confirmation. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed to be a manifestation of yin deficiency, triggered by the accumulation of qi and blood stagnation. Treatment generally involves replenishing qi, invigorating the spleen, and tonifying the kidneys. To regulate endocrine function, it is essential to first focus on diet and activity. Develop good dietary habits, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat more high-protein foods. Drink plenty of water to help digest the body's required fluids. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
