What tests should be done for hyperprolactinemia?

Hyperprolactinemia is a common prolactin disease, which mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Some people have low prolactin and are asymptomatic, so it is difficult for us to detect it. Therefore, it is particularly important for female friends to detect hyperprolactinemia. Here we will introduce some methods to check hyperprolactinemia.

1. Departmental gynecological examination: This is a simple examination method. By examining women, you will find symptoms such as abdominal lumps, but some are not examined and need further examination.

2. Diagnostic curettage to check submucosal prolactin: Diagnostic curettage can be used for minor or functional uterine bleeding. However, curettage can break the surface of the prolactin, which can cause bleeding, infection, necrosis, and even sepsis. Strict aseptic operation and gentleness should be used, and the contents should be sent for pathological examination.

3. Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is relatively common in China. It can show the enlargement of the uterus, irregular shape, the number, position, size of the prolactin, whether it is unified in the prolactin, or liquefaction sac changes, etc.; as well as whether there is compression around, other organs and other properties.

4. Hysterosalpingography: Ideal hysterography can not only show the amount of submucosal prolactin, but also the amount of prolactin in the submucosal cavity. Therefore, the early diagnosis of submucosal prolactin is simple. A hyperprolactinemic uterine cavity is filled with contrast photography and is incomplete.

Through the above introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of how to check hyperprolactinemia. We hope that the majority of female friends will regularly check their bodies in their daily lives to prevent problems before they occur. Once you suffer from hyperprolactinemia, you must seek timely treatment and do not delay the disease, which will cause greater harm.
