Female hormones and their role in women's health

Hormones are chemical messengers which are produced by the endocrine glands. These hormones regulate all the minor and major functions of the body, starting from digestion to reproduction.

Most of the hormones secreted are the same in males and females, except few which are called sex hormones. The hormones which are exclusively produced in the female body are called the female hormones, and they are secreted by the ovaries.

Female sex hormones are:

  • Estrogen
  • Progesterone
  • Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (only during pregnancy)
  • Testosterone

These female sex hormones play a vital role in the body of women. Estrogen and progesterone are most well known because of their role in the women’s reproductive health, from menstruation to pregnancy to menopause.
