Female Physiology

Meaning

Female Physiology is the specialized study of the biological and biochemical functions and processes unique to the female human organism, fundamentally characterized by the cyclical, rhythmic regulation of the reproductive system by estrogen, progesterone, and androgens. This domain encompasses the intricate, lifelong interplay between the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) axis, bone metabolism, cardiovascular health, and neuroendocrine function. Understanding these distinct biological characteristics is essential for accurate clinical diagnosis and therapeutic strategy.
