Clinical symptoms of hyperprolactinemia

1. Menstrual changes

The typical manifestation of HPRL is amenorrhea, and it can also manifest as irregular menstruation (such as infrequent menstruation, scanty menstruation, etc.), ovulation disorders, luteal insufficiency, infertility, etc.

2. Lactation

Milk can be seen during spontaneous lactation or squeezing of both breasts, which has no absolute positive correlation with the level of PRL. It may be related to factors such as the heterotypic nature of PRL and its immune activity, biological activity, and receptor binding rate.

3. Other manifestations

If left untreated for a long time, it may lead to osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency, or headaches and visual impairment due to the progression of pituitary tumors.
