Precautions after surgery for hyperprolactinemia

What are the precautions after surgery for hyperprolactinemia? Many people want to know the answer to this question. Hyperprolactinemia is the most common pituitary disease, which is characterized by galactorrhea and hypogonadism. Female patients may have decreased libido and loss of sex drive, which will be relieved after treatment as PRL levels decrease.

Hyperprolactinemia precautions are as follows:

1. Treat primary diseases (pituitary tumors, hypothyroidism and Cushing's syndrome), try to avoid adverse mental stimulation, and reduce or avoid the use of drugs that increase prolactin.

2. Try to avoid adverse mental stimulation.

3. Reduce or avoid the use of drugs that increase prolactin.

4. Dairy products should be avoided in the diet. Yogurt, dairy products, sugar and meat can easily cause skin fever, so dairy products should be avoided as much as possible in the diet.

5. Long-term follow-up of patients with hyperprolactinemia should be noted, as a small number of patients may even develop pituitary tumors 10 to 20 years later.

6. For patients with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia, slightly elevated prolactin, regular menstruation, unaffected ovarian function, no galactorrhea, and no impact on normal life, no treatment is necessary, but regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to observe clinical manifestations and changes in PRL.
