Where are the female gonads located?

Sex hormones mainly refer to male testicles and female ovaries. Male testicles can secrete the male hormone testosterone (testosterone), whose main function is to promote the growth and development of sex hormones and associated structures and the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, and also has the effect of promoting protein synthesis. The uterus and ovaries can metabolize oocytes, progesterone, relaxin and estrogen. Let’s take a look at where female sex hormones are located.

Where are women's sex hormones located?

Female sex hormones refer to the ovaries, which are located behind the bottom of the female uterus and connected to the outer wall of the pelvis. They are the main reproductive organs of women and can secrete ovarian hormone, progesterone, relaxin and estrogen. This hormone can stimulate the proliferation of the female endometrium, promote uterine thickening, breast enlargement and secondary characteristics. Once uterine and ovarian problems occur, women will experience significant physiological changes. Therefore, sex hormones are very important for maintaining women's physiological characteristics and reproduction.

The uterus and ovaries are the reproductive organs of female animals. The function is to produce eggs and hormones. The position of the ovaries is the same as that of the testicles, but only the left side is growing (the right side has atrophied). They are shaped like red grapes, and are eggs at different stages of development. The eggs are yellowish in color, and the surface of the ovaries is covered with blood vessels. The size of the uterus and ovaries is related to age and egg-laying period.

⑴ Stimulate endometrial hyperplasia, promote uterine thickening, breast morphology, and the appearance of female secondary sexual characteristics.

⑵ Promote the proliferation of uterine epithelial cells and uterine glands, maintain the body's water, sodium, and calcium components, and can lower blood lipids and increase body temperature.

⑶ Promote the relaxation of cervical and ischial tuberosity ligaments, which is beneficial for pregnant women to give birth.

⑷ Stimulate and maintain women's secondary sexual characteristics, etc.
