Gynecologist explains the causes of hyperprolactinemia

High prolactin is a common problem for female friends. Many female friends will have this situation. At this time, female friends should understand what causes this problem. So, what is the cause of high prolactin? Let's take a look at it together.

1. Pituitary tumor: Many female friends with high prolactin levels have pituitary tumors. This tumor can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin in the pituitary gland and affect the synthesis of sex hormones in the female ovaries. This will cause a significant decrease in the level of estrogen in the female serum, causing ovarian dysfunction and reduced ovulation. High prolactin may occur.

Pituitary tumors: They can also affect the sex hormone synthesis function of the female ovaries, which can lead to a significant decrease in the level of estrogen in the female serum, causing ovarian dysfunction and reduced ovulation. High prolactin secretion may occur.

2. Drug factors: If women take sedatives targeting the central nervous system for a long time, it may also cause excessive prolactin in their bodies.

The more common drugs are morphine or sleeping pills, which can significantly reduce the catecholamine content in the hypothalamus of female friends, which will lead to a decrease in the activity of prolactin-releasing factor produced by the hypothalamus, thus leading to excessive secretion of prolactin.

I hope that female friends can understand the cause of this problem, so that in their future lives, female friends can better avoid this situation.
