The harm that hyperprolactinemia can cause to the body

What harm does hyperprolactinemia bring to the body? Hyperprolactinemia is caused by internal and external environmental factors, which can lead to dizziness, palpitations, infertility and other problems, which has a very serious impact on patients. Patients often experience symptoms such as breast pain, galactorrhea, scanty menstruation, and amenorrhea, so patients with hyperprolactinemia should be treated in time. The following is a detailed introduction.

Introduction to the dangers of hyperprolactinemia

1. Infertility: Infertility is the most direct harm of hyperprolactinemia. High prolactin acts on the pituitary gland, inhibiting the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. If the follicle-stimulating hormone is too low, it is not enough to make the follicles mature, and if the luteinizing hormone is too low, the luteinizing hormone peak cannot occur, so ovulation does not occur and infertility occurs.

2. Miscarriage: When the concentration of hyperprolactinemia in the body increases, the prolactin level in the follicular fluid also increases, the estrogen level decreases, the granulosa cells decrease significantly, and the secretion of progesterone decreases, causing luteal insufficiency and leading to infertility or miscarriage in early pregnancy.

3. Oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea: Menstruation may be normal in the early stage of the disease, but gradually becomes oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. At the same time, patients may also experience habitual abortion, loss of libido, hirsutism, acne, etc.

4. Others: Due to low estrogen levels, patients may experience vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and difficulty in sexual intercourse; if there is a pituitary tumor, it may cause headaches, decreased vision, and visual field defects.
