Introduce some issues about hyperprolactinemia

For gynecological diseases, the first thing female friends need to understand is the cause of hyperprolactinemia. Many women do not know what hyperprolactinemia is, and even less know why they suffer from hyperprolactinemia. Below, the editor will introduce you to some questions about hyperprolactinemia.

Women should prevent the harm caused by hyperprolactinemia? Normal PRL pulse release and its circadian rhythm play an important role in regulating breast development, lactation and ovarian function. PRL secretion is regulated by both hypothalamic PRL-RH and PRL-IH. In the normal ovulation menstrual cycle, PRL is always under the tonic inhibitory regulation of CNS hypothalamic dopaminergic neurotransmitters and PRL-IH. Once this regulation is unbalanced, HPPL is caused.

There are many causes of hyperprolactinemia, such as late ovulation and luteal phase; during pregnancy, it is ≥10 times higher than in non-pregnancy; during lactation: massage, nipple sucking causes acute, short-term or persistent secretion increase; postpartum period: 3 to 4 weeks; hypoglycemia; exercise and stress stimulation; sexual intercourse: significantly increased during orgasm; fetus and newborn (≥28 weeks of pregnancy to 2 to 3 weeks after delivery). There are also other diseases, such as: tumors: non-functional craniopharyngioma, sarcoid glioma; inflammation: skull base meningitis, tuberculosis, syphilis, actinomycosis. Destruction: injury, surgery, arteriovenous malformation, granuloma (Hand-Schüller-Christian's syndrome). Pituitary stalk lesions, injuries or tumor compression. Psychological trauma and stress. Parkinson's disease, etc. are all causes of hyperprolactinemia.

In addition, primary and/or secondary hypothyroidism is also a cause of hyperprolactinemia, such as: pseudohypoparathyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, ectopic PRL secretion syndrome, adrenal and kidney diseases: Addison's disease, chronic renal failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, cirrhosis. Gynecological and obstetric surgery can also cause hyperprolactinemia, such as: artificial abortion, induced labor, stillbirth, hysterectomy, tubal ligation, oophorectomy, etc. In short, there are many causes of hyperprolactinemia, and there are many harms of hyperprolactinemia. Therefore, we must combine prevention and treatment. We must prevent while treating, and we must treat while preventing.
