Estrogen is an essential female sex hormone. This hormone is primarily produced and released by the ovaries, although smaller amounts are also produced by the adrenal glands and, during pregnancy, by the placenta. However, the ovaries are the main source of estrogen during a woman’s reproductive years.
The release of estrogen from the ovaries follows a cyclic pattern that is closely linked to the menstrual cycle. Estrogen levels peak around the time of ovulation, about 14 days after the first day of the period. However, it can be different in individuals.
The Estrogen hormone contributes to the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. And helps maintain skin firmness and resilience. Estrogen also influences skin thickness, moisture levels, and blood flow.
As women age, ovarian function declines, leading to a significant drop in estrogen and Collagen levels. With less estrogen circulating, collagen production in the vagina also declines.
