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 a woman. 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 be no female ones.

Also, 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 in moderation.
