Hormones of the female organism - names where they are produced and for what is responsible, the norm and treatment of deviations

The development and functioning of the sexual system of the female organism provide women's hormones, so it is important to know the level of each of them corresponding to the norm to prevent any imbalance. The psychological state depends on the amount of hormone produced, the appearance, the ability to conceive and dry the child.

What is hormones

A summary description of the concept of "hormones" is reduced to the allocation of their main quality - the effects on other cells.

Synthesizing in the ovaries, it affects not only the sex system, but also on the functioning of other systems. The second is progesterone, the production of which occurs after the exit of the egg from the follicle and the formation of a yellow body. These hormones in girls act only together, providing the opposite effect on the body than the integrity of the system is achieved.

In addition to the main, there are other female hormones, no less important for the vital activity of the body. They are assigned a secondary role only because they are included in the work at certain stages of life. For example, prolactin causes milk production into the lactation period, oxytocin stimulates the cutting of the uterus during pregnancy, and the luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH) are responsible for the development of secondary sexual signs and menstrual cycle.

Where are produced

The main organs of the endocrine system, which are responsible for the fact that sex hormones in women are produced in the required quantity, the ovaries and the pituitary gland. Information on generating glands is presented in the table:

Name	Where are produced
Estrogen	Sheath follicle ovarian, adrenal glands, yellow body
Progesterone
Somatotropin
Noraderenalin	Adrenal glands
Oxytocin
Serotonin and its indole derivative melatonin	Shishkovoid glage
Thyroid group (thyroxin, triiodothyronine)	Thyroid
Testosterone	Adrenal glands
Prolactin
	Pancreas

Norm of genital hormones

The first symptoms indicating the dysfunction of any system are a signal that hormonal analyzes should be passed. The results of the diagnosis are issued in hand and contain information on how many hormones in the body of a woman.

• The acquisition of the feminine proportions of the figure during puberty of the girl - occurs due to the sharp emission of estrogen.
• The adhesiveness of the tenderness of a woman is evidence of an admission to the brain of the signal on preparing for the synthesis of luteinizing hormones, since the body is ready for fertilization.
• Strengthening appetite after ovulation - a consequence of a sharp emission of estrogen due to the fact that chemicals continue their work on preparing for having a child, regardless of whether the conception occurred or not.
• The period of pregnancy is characterized by a sharp increase in the level of estrogen and progesterone, then oxytocin and prolactin are connected to them.
• The beginning of menopause and climax in adulthood - there is a decrease in the level of estrogen.

What hormones are responsible for what

The female organism is the coordinated work of interrelated processes. Each participant of this system performs certain functions and each has its own responsibility. This information is given in Table:

Name	Area responsibility
Estrogen	Development of genital organs, preparation for reproducing offspring
Progesterone	The ability of an egg to fertilization, stimulation of increasing the uterus during pregnancy
Somatotropin	Muscle strengthening to ensure the possibility of enhancing the fetus
Noraderenalin	Reducing stress level during hormonal drops during pregnancy
Oxytocin	Stimulation of the cutting of the uterus during bruises
Serotonin	Reduces pain in generic activity
Thyroid group	Formation and maintenance of the functioning of the thyroid gland
Testosterone	Attraction to the opposite floor
	Management of ripening eggs
Prolactin	Contributes to the beginning of milk production during lactation

Excess hormones

The deviation in the amount of chemicals in one direction or another may indicate the presence of pathology, their excessive development leads to the emergence of such diseases:

• hyperandrogenation - increased testosterone production, leading to mascality, problems with conception;
• thyrotoxicosis - an excess of thyroxine, which is characterized by a violation of thermoregulation and, as a result, the possibility of complications in the form of thyroiditis;
• hyperprolactinemia - improving the production of prolactin, while disrupting the menstrual cycle arises;
• hypereresses are an excess of estrogen, which causes obesity, disruption of metabolism.

Lack of hormones

Reduced hormone production in women represents a threat to miscarriage during pregnancy, the impossibility of nourishing the fetus, inability to fertilization. In addition, there are a number of diseases caused by the disadvantage of certain substances, among them the most common are:

• hypothyroidism is a lack of thyroxine and triiodothyronine;
• sugar diabetes - weak insulin production;
• depression is a low oxytocin level.

Analyzes for hormonal background in women
