What are the symptoms of hyperprolactinemia?

Hyperprolactinemia has a high probability of occurring in life, which can cause non-lactation lactation, obvious menstrual disorders, or infertility. If it is not effectively treated, it can also lead to a series of abnormal phenomena such as decreased libido and vaginal dryness in patients, causing serious harm. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to inspection and treatment.

The incidence of hyperprolactinemia is relatively high. If it is not treated in time, it may lead to infertility. This is not just a female disease. Men may also suffer from this disease and cause infertility. Therefore, it is necessary to pay great attention to it in life to avoid delaying one's life. So what are the symptoms of hyperprolactinemia?
1. Other symptoms <br/>Hyperprolactinemia can cause other symptoms in patients, such as pituitary tumors, which can cause headaches, and even vision loss and visual field defects. Because of low estrogen levels, patients will experience symptoms such as decreased libido and vaginal dryness, which need to be taken seriously.
2. Lactation during non-lactation period <br/>Lactation itself is also the most important clinical manifestation of hyperprolactinemia. Most female patients will lactate during non-pregnancy and non-lactation period, and even male patients will have such manifestations. However, abnormal breast development will occur before lactation, and this phenomenon needs to be taken seriously. During non-lactation period, the secreted milk has properties similar to colostrum.
3. Obvious menstrual disorders <br/>Female patients may experience varying degrees of menstrual disorders, and may even suffer from amenorrhea. However, the situation of each patient is different, some are milder, and some are more serious. If the situation is more serious, there will also be loss of libido or osteoporosis. This series of symptoms is collectively referred to as amenorrhea syndrome. If there is menstrual disorder, the patient's normal physiological cycle will also be affected, causing unnecessary harm.
4. Infertility <br/>Most cases of hyperprolactinemia are actually caused by pituitary microadenomas. About 90% of patients may experience reduced menstruation and other phenomena. Severe patients may show infertility, which occurs in about 70%. In addition, pituitary or intracranial tumor hyperprolactinemia can also cause patients to have blurred vision, headaches and many other phenomena. If it is caused by a growth hormone adenoma, it may also be accompanied by systemic developmental abnormalities such as gigantism.
