Typically the hormone estrogen is called female hormone. Although scientists claim that it is present in men, but to a lesser extent. This hormone is essential for the functioning of both men and women. An imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone leads to impaired reproductive function, bone system, and immunity. Lack of the hormone estrogen in a woman’s body has negative consequences and affects a woman’s quality of life. Therefore, women should visit a gynecologist to monitor the level of this hormone in their bodies.
Estrogens are fundamental steroid hormones responsible for sexual development, reproductive function, skeletal system, resistance, and immunity in women.
This hormone is produced in the ovary and body fat. Therefore, women who are deficient in body fat have problems with women’s health and lack of menstruation. The amount of estrogen in a woman’s body changes by the phases of the menstrual cycle. The peak of hormone production is in the middle of the cycle. The smallest amount of estrogen is produced before menstruation, so women complain about poor health, anxiety, aggression, and so on.
