With normal ovarian function, estrogen and progesterone levels may be in a state of equilibrium; however, it is also necessary to analyze them in conjunction with the physiological state, pituitary gland and hypothalamic function.
The ovary is the main organ that synthesizes and secretes estrogen, progesterone and other sex hormones. Before ovulation, estrogen is mainly secreted by the follicle, while after ovulation, the corpus luteum secretes both estrogen and progesterone. If ovarian function is normal, the level of estrogen and progesterone secretion is likely to be normal.
However, it should be noted that after physiological changes such as pregnancy, the balance of estrogen and progesterone levels will change significantly in order to promote a better implantation of the fertilized egg and the normal development of the fetus.
Since the secretion of sex hormones is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, when diseases such as pituitary tumors occur, gonadotropin levels will be abnormal, and at this time, even if the ovaries are functioning normally, estrogen and progesterone secretion levels may also be abnormal.
It is recommended that you consult a doctor if you have abnormal estrogen and progesterone levels.
