Estrogens are a group of female sex hormones and include estrone, estradiol, estriol, and others. The most powerful of these is the 17-beta estradiol. In the blood tests it is called E2 and is present in the bodies of both men and women. Formed by the male sex hormone testosterone.
Shortage is the cause of infertility, and surplus leads to feminization - the appearance of typical female sexual signs.
