Patients with hyperprolactinemia should be distinguished as functional tumors or pituitary tumors. Hyperprolactinemia caused by abortion or post-abortion lactation, stress, drugs, chest wall stimulation, hypothyroidism, renal failure, ectopic secretory tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. should be excluded. A preliminary diagnosis of the presence of a pituitary tumor can be made through detailed medical history, physical examination, blood hormone level measurement and imaging examination. Then it can be further clarified whether the pituitary tumor secretes PRL or other hormones, and the size of the tumor, the presence of vacuolar sella turcica and other intracranial lesions can be understood.

Hyperprolactinemia test notes:

1. For women of childbearing age, especially those aged 20 to 40, if they have the triad of irregular menstruation-lactation-infertility or irregular menstruation-lactation-headache, the PRL level in the blood should be checked to confirm the diagnosis, and relevant examinations should be done to understand the primary disease, and the symptoms and root cause should be treated simultaneously.

2. Based on the clinical symptoms, combined with laboratory tests and positive imaging findings, exclude physiological and pharmacological causes of PRL increase. On the basis of establishing the diagnosis of "hyperprolactinemia", further analysis and judgment are made to distinguish whether the cause is due to lesions of the pituitary gland, its adjacent parts or extracranial lesions.

The above is an analysis of the precautions for hyperprolactinemia examination. Everyone must actively grasp them. Of course, after grasping the precautions for hyperprolactinemia examination, everyone must also actively consult the advice of relevant experts.
