And here's a molecule of estrogen:

You can see they are very similar. Men and women have both in their bodies. In fact, before 11-12 weeks of age you can't tell a female fetus from a male fetus.

It is normal to have testosterone in your blood in a very small amount. However, too much can be a problem for women just like too little estrogen can as well. The level of it is what matters and your doctor will talk about it with you.

Answer 2

Testosterone is the hormone that's predominant in males. HOWEVER, females DO have testosterone. I don't know if it's supposed to be in the blood however. Your doctor told you, so ask them!

Answer 3

That is a medical question that you need to discuss more fully with your doctor, and you should ignore anything you hear on this venue.

Answer 4

Your picture is of a guy, but your question is very confusing. Please rephrase the question?
