The hormones in girls responsible for developing female characteristics are?
Everyone has hormones, not just girls. All a hormone is is a chemical released by cells in the body, and there something like 40 or 50 hormones in the bodies of both genders. If you want to know why girls have certain hormones (especially ones classified as estrogen), then the answer still is even males have estrogen, just as females have testosterone. Females, however, have much more estrogen than males, and that is because it is necessary to regulate their menstrual cycle and in the formation of breasts. These high levels of estrogen are also what makes women sometime moodier than males, and is also responsible for many other characteristics of females, but it is also vital to the health of both males and females.
How can I block estrogen?
There are a few ways to block estrogen. If you're a man and have high levels of estrogen, you can talk to your doctor about a prescription estrogen blocker. Non-medical ways to block estrogen is to lose weight if you're overweight, eat veggies like kale, broccoli, and Brussels Sprouts, reduce your alcohol intake, avoid soy products, and avoid eating meat products from animals raised with synthetic hormones.
How the hormones changes as a result of aging through the life stages?
The hormones change as a result of aging in many ways through the life stages. Estrogen is no longer produced, or it might be over produced in some cases. Hormones do not rise and fall like they should and this causes life changes like a change or absence in periods and other problems.
What are the hormones that cause women to grow beards?
When women grow beards it is due to the same hormones that causes men to grow beards, testosterone. Both girls and boys have testosterone in their systems, just like both boys and girls have estrogen in their systems.
No period after child birth for almost 5 years?
Sounds like a problem with your hormones. The production of progeterone and estrogen may have caused some abnormality. You should talk to a doctor.
What happens if a men take both estrogen and testosterone?
I doubt anything significant would happen. The effects of the hormones would likely cancel each other out, especially as both hormones are already present in the male body. However, sometimes large amounts of hormones are converted by the male body into only testosterone or only estrogen. For example, if a male bodybuilder takes anabolic steroids (which are basically testosterone and other muscle-building hormones), he can start to have body feminisation, like development of breast tissue, shrinking of the penis and testicles, loss of muscle mass, etc.Another answer:It would likely cause their own body to stop making hormones due to the feedback loop to the brain (hypothalamus-pituitary axis), and likely feminize them while maintaining some masculine features. Excess testosterone gets converted to estrogen in the body due to the aromatase enzyme.By the way, the ovaries in the female body don't exactly produce estrogen, but produce DHEA and aromatase enzyme. Those become estrogen in the blood.
Are all the body's chemical reactions are regulated by the endocrine system?
no, some are also regulated by the testes and ovaries that release sex hormones like testosterone in males and progesterone and estrogen in females.
How can you get hormone pills?
Estrogen and progesterone are hormones produced by a female's body. In some cases, these hormones are not produced at a sufficient rate. Doctors prescribe estrogen to relieve menopause symptoms and/or to prevent osteoporosis in women who have had hysterectomies.
Does the use of lotion cause your body to produce estrogen?
No Regular lotion does not make body produce estrogen but watch for lotions that already have it. If the body lotion has hormones in it like estrone or some others than yes it is estrogen and can contribute to breast cancer. This has just been released as new information coming out of a study. So watch ingredients of your body lotion.
Why is the thyroid gland considered to be an endocrine organ?
Both types of reproductive organs produce hormones in addition to the production of ovum and sperm, respectively. The testes produce testosterone, and the ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone. Such hormones are responsible for control and onset of conception and the growth of offspring.
What are the effects of being on synthroid and estrogen therapy?
Synthroid reverses symptoms of hypothyroidism like weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, depression - caused by the under active thyroid gland. Estrogen replaces hormones lost due to menopause or oophorectomy - causing mood swings, hot flashes and general discomfort.
What hormones is only used by males?
Testosterone is vital to a man’s health. Men have estrogen too, it’s just in much smaller quantities than women, so it plays less of a role. Estrogen levels rise in men around middle age as more testosterone is converted to estrogen, so that they experience more of the estrogen-like effects such as being more emotional (‘softer’ emotionally and physically).
