Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please explain the relationship between estrogen and progesterone?Doctor's answer:
Estrogen is a female hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta. The adrenal cortex also produces a small amount of estrogen. After girls enter puberty, the ovaries begin to secrete estrogen to promote the development of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries themselves, while the endometrium thickens to produce menstruation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
