estrogen : a generic term for oestrus-producing steroid compounds; the female sex
hormones. In humans, oestrogen is formed in the ovary, possibly the adrenal cortex, the
testis, and the foetoplacental unit; it has various functions in both sexes. It is
responsible for the development of the female secondary sex characteristics, and during
the menstrual cycle it acts on the female genitalia to produce an environment suitable
for the fertilization, implantation, and nutrition of the early embryo. Oestrogen is used in
oral contraceptives and as a palliative in cancer of the breast after menopause and
cancer of the prostate; other uses include the relief of the discomforts of menopause,
inhibition of lactation, and treatment of osteoporosis, threatened abortion, and various
functional ovarian disorders.
