Medical Conditions - Sex Hormones

Sex hormones are a collection of vital hormones in the development and control of sexual characteristics and reproductive functions. They include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Sex hormones are produced by the gonads (ovaries and testes) as well as other glands such as the adrenal glands. Secondary sexual traits including breast development and body hair growth are regulated by these hormones. Sex hormones also influence the menstrual cycle, fertility, bone density, mood, and overall well-being.
