Functions of female hormones in women:

(1) Stimulate the development and maturation of female external genitalia, vagina, uterus and other accessory organs, and promote the differentiation and keratinization of vaginal epithelial cells; increase the glycogen in epithelial cells and glycogenolysis, maintain the acidic environment of the vagina, and thus enhance its antibacterial ability.

(2) Enhance the contraction of fallopian tube and uterine smooth muscle.

(3) Combined with progesterone to maintain normal menstrual cycle.

(4) Stimulate and maintain female secondary sexual characteristics, such as making the distribution of fat and hair more feminine, developing breasts, producing areola, and widening the pelvis.

(5) It has the function of retaining water and sodium, increasing the extracellular fluid; it can also promote the synthesis of muscle protein and enhance calcium salt deposition. Progesterone is secreted by the luteal cells of the ovaries, mainly progesterone. It is inactivated into pregnanediol in the liver and then combined with glucuronic acid and excreted from the body through urine.
