Curious. What hormones caused this imbalance and how many different hormones does a human male have?

There are many hormones in the body. For instance, there is a hormone that regulates the neprons in the kidneys that tells them how much water to keep or get rid of. Without it, you are ravenously thirsty and piss like a race horse and without mass quantities of water, you will die of dehydration.

There are also various thyroid hormones, pituitary hormones, pancreatic hormones, adrenal hormones as well as various digestive hormones made in the duodenum (first part of small intestine) as well as in the pancrease. There may also be different hormones (chemical messengers) produced in muscles, skin, intestines, blood vessels, blood, bone, etc.

The whole body is based on a feedback and negative feedback system. Bausically, one hormone tells the body to do something and another chemical tells it to stop once it gets to a certain level.
