What are the symptoms of hyperprolactinemia? It must be treated promptly

In fact, many people in life have hyperprolactinemia. This disease can cause menstrual disorders in patients. Sometimes the menstrual volume is small, sometimes the menstrual period is long, and milk will be secreted even when it is not postpartum. If not treated in time, other symptoms will also appear, and it may even cause lifelong infertility and endanger women's lives.

With the improvement of quality of life, living standards have entered a stage where the water is rising and the boat is sailing higher. That is why more people are experiencing phenomena such as excessive prolactin secretion. Most people do not know much about this type of disease and think that it is only a disease that occurs in women. In fact, it may also occur in men. So what are the symptoms of hyperprolactinemia?
1. Menstrual disorders <br/>If a woman has high prolactin, she will experience various menstrual disorders, sometimes less menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea, of which amenorrhea is the most common. Before puberty, most cases are primary amenorrhea. If amenorrhea occurs after childbirth, it is secondary amenorrhea. Therefore, when you see such symptoms, you must not ignore them.
2. Lactation <br/>Women with high prolactin levels will experience galactorrhea. In fact, only postpartum women will secrete milk. Ordinary people will not have this problem under normal circumstances. After suffering from hyperprolactinemia, fluid will usually appear in both breasts, and the liquid can be squeezed out directly with hands. The liquid is usually non-bloody and may even appear transparent or milky white. The amount varies from person to person, some patients have more, and some have less.
3. Infertility <br/>The biggest harm of hyperprolactinemia is infertility. High prolactin levels can cause abnormal ovulation in patients, which may eventually lead to infertility. Even if abnormal ovulation does not cause infertility, it can cause luteal insufficiency, which will not cause infertility but can lead to miscarriage.
4. Other symptoms <br/>High prolactin levels can also cause headaches, oxidation, and even visual impairment, which is mainly due to the compression of the brain tissue caused by the enlargement of the pituitary adenoma. In addition, in a state of low estrogen, the patient's breasts will become smaller, the vagina will become dry, and sexual function will gradually become low. Some patients will also have excessive hair, acne, and sometimes obesity.
