Some women have high prolactin levels after pregnancy, which is particularly harmful to the female body. For a pregnant mother, the possibility of miscarriage will be greatly increased. Therefore, many women want to learn more about the different treatments for high prolactin levels after pregnancy. In order for you to understand it as soon as possible, please read the introduction below.

For pregnant women, prolactin will increase the level of prolactin through the action of pituitary hormones to promote breast enlargement and further promote breast milk secretion to prepare for feeding the baby. If the prolactin level of non-pregnant women is higher than normal, it will affect the function of the ovaries, preventing the follicles from maturing and leading to ovulation disorders and infertility. So what should we do if prolactin is high? Let's ask medical experts to explain this knowledge to you.

As for what to do with high prolactin, first of all, we need to determine the specific cause through regular testing. The causes of increased prolactin are relatively complicated. Some are pathological. For example, pituitary tumors are a common cause of increased prolactin. Primary hypothyroidism, chronic renal failure and other diseases can also cause increased prolactin. Others are caused by taking medications that increase prolactin levels. For example, antipsychotic drugs such as phenothiazines and antihypertensive drugs such as reserpines can increase prolactin. If you find that your prolactin is high, don't feel psychological pressure, but go to the hospital for examination in time, determine the cause with the help of advanced medical equipment, and take the correct treatment method.

What to do if prolactin is high? Modern medicine often uses drugs and surgery for treatment. For high prolactin caused by taking drugs, you should stop using such drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and use targeted symptomatic drugs. If there are some pathological reasons, hormone treatment is generally used. For pituitary tumors, surgical removal can be used.
