Sure, hormones play a very important role in every person's life. Their level has an impact on the functioning of all the systems, organs and tissues. Special attention is paid to the female sex hormones, which have an effect on the entire female reproductive system. It is also important to know what hormone is responsible for women for libido.
Libido is the sexual desire, passion and sexual desire. Unlike the male erection, emerging on the salt is, libido is formed at the level of the psychic. A large part of the responsibility for women's attractiveness are estrogens and hormone. But a small part of the responsibility drops also on testosterone – the male hormone, which found a place even in a woman's body.
Libido and estrogens
With that, what hormone is responsible for sexual desire of women, is already clear. Now, however, it is worth it in more detail to agree on how it all is happening in the body.
Representatives of the estrogen are the three sex hormones:
- estrone;
- estriol;
- estradiol.
In a woman's body is produce by the ovaries. The biggest responsibility for the libido lies on the Estradiol, it is only on its level depends the passion and desire women. And if this hormone is well-behaved, then there is no deviating from the norm, representative of the fairer sex remains in a good mood and zest.
The level of female hormones cannot be permanently stable, especially during the menstrual cycle. In this period, and the libido is characterized by variability. The peak of sexual desire must at the time of ovulation, then it gradually subsides. It is considered the norm.
The second phase of the menstrual cycle is characterized by a decrease in libido. In this period may appear premenstrual syndrome, and it:
- increased irritability and moodiness;
- depression;
- dull dragging pain in the lower part of the abdomen;
- headaches;
- violation of sleep.
In women, which are included in the period of menopause, excitement and sexual attraction decreases. It is related to the great hormonal changes, on the background of which the level of estrogen decreases, and together with it and the ovaries. The flora of the vagina also lays the changes, the mucous membrane of the shell becomes drier, causing the sexual acts they are uncomfortable and even painful. In general, the period of menopause has a greater impact on the emotional status, than it seems at first glance. And all because of the close link with the hormones estrogens mood.
Estrogens, which are responsible for female libido, they share their function with the progesterone, which is not only responsible for female sexuality, but also controls the menstrual cycle. In reducing his levels, libido in women also decreases. Horse racing progesterone depends mainly on the course of the menstrual cycle. At reduced concentration of these hormones in the female body occur some changes.
What happens when a deviation from the norm?
Estrogens are not only responsible for sexual drive. Bone growth, development of the reproductive organs and the emergence of sexual characteristics occurs also with their help. Together with progesterone, are the main regulators of pregnancy. Due to increased their level, women are faced with excess weight, intrauterine infection, the threat of miscarriage and the risk of developing the disease in the child. When a sharp increase in the hormonal levels it is necessary to exclude the presence of formations in the pituitary gland.

It hormone (FSH)
FSH is the main substance acting on the formation of the female and the male sex drive. And also under the influence of FSH in women is the formation of ova, production of estrogen and regulation of the sex glands.
Peak concentrations of FSH says about the occurrence of ovulation. Abnormal increase may occur for the following reasons:

- uterine bleeding;
- pathology of the kidney.
The excessive abuse of alcohol FSH can also respond to its increase.
Lack of the hormone, increases the risk of the disruption of reproductive function. It comes to disorders of the genitourinary system, dysfunction of the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, polycystic ovarian. The main feature of reduction in the hormone is the absence of menstruation (for three months or more), or uterine bleeding not related to menstrual cycle. And also may be present chronic pathology of the genital system, and persistent headaches.
