Initial treatment of hyperprolactinemia

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from diseases in society, and some of them suffer from hyperprolactinemia. However, medicine is relatively developed now, and there are many ways to treat hyperprolactinemia. As long as the patient chooses the correct treatment method, it can still be cured. So what are the treatments for hyperprolactinemia?

With the deepening of the understanding of the biological behavior of hyperprolactinemia and the transformation and updating of treatment concepts, the treatment of hyperprolactinemia has entered the era of comprehensive treatment, forming a treatment model that emphasizes both local treatment and systemic treatment of hyperprolactinemia. Doctors will use a variety of methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological targeted therapy, and auxiliary treatment with traditional Chinese medicine according to the stage of the tumor and the patient's physical condition. Surgery plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging and comprehensive treatment of hyperprolactinemia. Radiotherapy uses radiation to destroy the growth and reproduction of cells to achieve the effect of controlling and eliminating cells. Surgery and radiotherapy are both local treatments.

Chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses anti-drugs to inhibit cell division and destroy cells. Endocrine therapy is the use of drugs or removal of endocrine glands to regulate the body's endocrine function and reduce the secretion of endocrine hormones, thereby achieving the purpose of treating hyperprolactinemia.

The surgical procedures for hyperprolactinemia include breast conserving surgery (breast-conserving surgery) and total mastectomy. Axillary lymph node surgery includes sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is to remove only the sentinel lymph nodes, and then perform axillary lymph node dissection after detecting sentinel lymph node metastasis. Some people also call it axillary-conserving surgery.

After all, hyperprolactinemia is a type of disease, so it can also be a disease that can cause death. Therefore, every patient suffering from hyperprolactinemia should listen carefully to the doctor's advice and manage their daily life well, so as to increase the chance of recovery.
