Thirteen small food tips for hyperprolactinemia: Dairy products should be avoided in the diet

Hyperprolactinemia is the most common pituitary disease, which is characterized by galactorrhea and hypogonadism. Female patients may have decreased libido and loss of sexual desire, which will be relieved after treatment as the pRL level decreases. Male patients mainly show decreased libido and impotence. In severe cases, body hair loss, testicular atrophy, reduced sperm and even azoospermia may occur. It is caused by internal and external environmental factors, and is a syndrome characterized by increased prolactin (pRL) (>25ng/ml), amenorrhea, galactorrhea, anovulation and infertility. From the perspective of pathological changes, it can be divided into tumor hyperprolactinemia, postpartum hyperprolactinemia, idiopathic hyperprolactinemia, and iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia.

2. Drink more water: Drinking more water or juice can also effectively control body temperature.

3. Reduce caffeine and alcohol: Beverages containing caffeine and alcohol will stimulate the secretion of certain hormones and induce skin fever.

Dairy products should be avoided in the diet: yogurt, dairy products, sugar and meat can easily cause skin fever, so dairy products should be avoided as much as possible in the diet.
