A member asked:

Does your uterus produce any hormone?

Dr. Mirela Cernaianu answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Thanks for asking!: The uterus is a muscular organ that gets ready for pregnancy every month due to hormonal changes. It does not produce any hormones. The hormones are made in various other parts of the body: the ovaries, the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, the adrenal gland etc.
