Estrogen

Estrogen is a crucial hormone primarily associated with female reproductive health, although it is present in all genders. It plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting bone health, and influencing mood. In women, estrogen is produced mainly in the ovaries, while in men, it is produced in smaller amounts by the testes and adrenal glands. Estrogen helps develop secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and fat distribution. An imbalance in estrogen levels can lead to various health issues, including irregular periods or menopause symptoms in women, and can affect overall well-being in both sexes.
