Frequent urination can certainly be a sign of hormonal imbalance. Depleted levels of hormones and hormone precursors (as often seen in adrenal fatigue) can lead to lower aldosterone levels. Aldosterone is a hormone that controls your salt balance, how much water you retain, and how frequently you urinate. High levels of aldosterone can cause excess water retention, but low levels can lead to polyuria (frequent urination).
Low aldosterone levels are very common among those with adrenal fatigue, or HPA axis dysfunction. Taking 1-2 teaspoons of salt per day (mixed in water) can help. Many people experience cravings for salt and feel better immediately after drinking it. Note that you might want to consult or doctor, or at check your blood pressure, before adding lots of salt to your diet. I hope that helps!
