Abstract : Corticosteroids play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis throughout the body, which gives an organism the ability to withstand changes in its surroundings and the entry of foreign substances. Corticosteroids fall into two broad categories: mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. The adrenal glands release glucocorticoids in reaction to stressors like eating disorders, physical activity, emotional turmoil, surgery, or malnutrition. The kidney's control over electrolyte excretion is mediated by mineralocorticoids. Alkalosis, normal or slightly higher plasma sodium, positive sodium balance, increased extracellular fluid volume, and hypokalemia are the primary signs of mineralocorticoid excess.The study was conducted at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India. The study's female participants ranged in age from 18 to 25. Vocal agreement was obtained after the study's goals were explained. This survey received thirty responses in total. Sleep issues, boredom, exhaustion, depression, inferiority complex, and annoyance at work have all been noted to affect women. Their daily activities are insufficient. Consequently, women need more health education.To enhance women's overall health and wellness, future treatments should focus on these areas.

Keywords : Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids, Androgens, Progestogens, Estrogens.
