Estrogen is produced primarily in the ovaries and plays a crucial role in the development and regulation of female reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. It is responsible for the growth and maturation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and breasts during puberty. Estrogen also regulates the menstrual cycle and is important for maintaining bone health.

Androgen, on the other hand, is a male sex hormone that includes testosterone. Androgens are responsible for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
