The ovaries look like two small oblong formations with an average size of 3 × 2 cm, a whitish color.
The ovaries perform two functions: to produce female sex hormones and to grow eggs. Actually, it is in the process of growing eggs that these hormones are produced.
Testosterone is synthesized in the ovaries and converted into female hormones
Testosterone is a male sex hormone, without which it is impossible to create female sex hormones, that is, female sex hormones are obtained only by converting from male.
Testosterone is synthesized in the ovaries and adrenal glands and is extremely necessary for women. At the beginning of the cycle, under the influence of FSH, it begins to turn into estradiol. That is, if you did not have male sex hormones, then there would not be female.
In addition, male sex hormones are responsible for your libido and temperament in general. In other words, male sex hormones are very important for a woman, but only moderately.
Menopause
Normally, menopause occurs between the ages of 42 and 58, in part it depends on the originally laid down number of follicles in the ovaries.
