Why analyze female sex hormones?

As females transition into adulthood, their bodies undergo hormonal changes that initiate the onset of menstruation. The menstrual cycle consists of two distinct phases – the first phase, which occurs before ovulation, is characterized by a dominance of estrogen, while the second phase, which occurs after ovulation, is characterized by a dominance of progesterone. These monthly fluctuations between estrogen and progesterone are essential for maintaining a woman’s well-being. In men, a correlation has been observed between elevated levels of estrogen and decreased levels of testosterone, which may increase the risk of prostate issues.
