Estradiol production occurs mainly in the ovaries. Testosterone is predominantly produced in the testes and is not a female hormone.

Estrogen is a collective term that includes estradiol, estriol, and estrone, but estradiol is the most potent and predominant form of estrogen in premenopausal women and is produced mainly by the ovaries.
