Estrogen is generally more active in the female body and is produced by the female ovaries and placenta. Estrogen is an important factor in controlling female body activities. If there is too little estrogen in the body, female development will be incomplete and the normal arrival of menstruation will be affected. Therefore, women must pay attention to whether the secretion of estrogen is normal. What should they do if the estrogen suddenly becomes disordered at a certain period? Estrogen, also known as estrogen and female hormone, is a major type of female hormone. It promotes the maturation of female accessory organs and the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, and maintains hormones for normal sexual desire and reproductive function. There are two major categories (both are steroid hormones), namely estrogens and progestins. Estrogen is mainly secreted by the ovarian follicular cells (the placenta also secretes estrogen), mainly estradiol. It is inactivated in the liver, converted into estriol and estrone, and excreted in the urine after combining with glucuronic acid. During pregnancy, the placenta can secrete a large amount of estriol. Estrogen is a major type of female hormone, including estrone, estradiol, etc. It is mainly produced by the ovaries and placenta, and a small amount is secreted by the liver, adrenal cortex, and breasts. During pregnancy, the placenta can also secrete a large amount of estrogen. The male testicles also secrete a small amount of estrogen. After women enter puberty, their ovaries begin to secrete estrogen to promote the development of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries themselves. At the same time, the endometrium proliferates and produces menstruation. Estrogen can keep the skin hydrated, promote skin metabolism and blood circulation, make the skin soft and delicate, and also cause breast hyperplasia, producing breasts and areolas, and selectively concentrate fat in the breasts, thighs, and buttocks, thereby making women's bodies beautiful and curvy, and producing and maintaining women's secondary sexual characteristics. Natural female hormones: estradiol (E2), estrone (E) and estriol (E3), which are secreted by the ovaries, placenta and adrenal cortex. Estradiol (E2) is often used clinically. It has a strong effect and is absorbed quickly, but the effect is short-lived. The duration of action can be prolonged after lipidation. The activity of estriol is very weak. For women, estrogen plays a very important role. In fact, in addition to the reproductive system and estrogen, many tissues and organs in the female body have their target organs, such as the nervous system, cardiovascular system, bones, urinary system, etc. These systems or tissues can all interact with estrogen, so the role of estrogen is indispensable to these systems in the process of girls' development and maturation. The huge role of estrogen in a woman's life cannot be replaced by any other hormone. It dominates the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristics, regulates the stability of the female body environment, and controls the female life cycle. Women's periodic menstruation, women's fertility, and women's unique plump body shape are all inseparable from the role of estrogen. |
