Hyperprolactinemia must be treated early to avoid the harm of the disease. Experts point out that in order to correctly treat hyperprolactinemia, the cause of hyperprolactinemia must be understood so as to restore everyone's health to the greatest extent. Pituitary PRL tumor is the most common cause of hyperprolactinemia. Foreign data show that the prevalence of PRL tumors with clinical symptoms is about 1/5000, and the onset age of most PRL tumors is between 30 and 50 years old. About 60% of PRL tumors are microadenomas, and they are almost only seen in women; the other 35% are macroadenomas, and there is no gender difference in their incidence. Long-term follow-up of PRL microadenomas shows that if left untreated, about 7% of microadenomas will develop into macroadenomas. Some people believe that idiopathic high PRL blood disease is also caused by PRL microadenoma, but the tumor is very small and cannot be displayed by existing imaging technology. Some people also believe that idiopathic high PRL blood disease is caused by hypothalamic dysfunction. Some people abroad have conducted long-term follow-up on idiopathic high PRL blood disease. The results show that about half of the patients have no significant changes in blood PRL levels, about 1/3 of the patients have blood PRL levels that drop to normal, and about 15% of the patients develop PRL microadenomas after 2 to 6 years. The cause of hyperprolactinemia must be understood. Only by understanding the cause of hyperprolactinemia can we help everyone correctly diagnose and treat this disease. Finally, it is recommended that everyone must consult an expert to get accurate treatment methods. |
