Dr. Charles Mok explains that women's ovaries produce testosterone, which converts to estrogen. Women in early adulthood have roughly 20 times more testosterone than estrogen, and this production becomes erratic as menopause approaches.
Low testosterone in women is also low estrogen in women. Your ovaries make most of your testosterone, which then gets converted into estrogen. And again, women have about 20 times more testosterone than estrogen when they're 20 to 50 years old. And we always think about estrogen replacement, but it really came from testosterone. In my book, testosterone strong enough for man but Made for Women, really kind of review how we got to estrogen and how we're kind of shifting more towards testosterone, which is the master sex hormone for women. Now men have 10 times more testosterone than women, where women have 20 times more testosterone than they have actually did. When a woman is in her youthful years, her ovaries are able to make all kinds of sex hormones. As you go through your eggs from having menses over and over again prior to menopause, your ovaries and the structures with the ovaries start to fail, and the hormone production gets erratic.
