Lack of sleep may lead to hyperprolactinemia

Endocrine factors are very common in patients with male infertility. Hyperprolactinemia is a type of endocrine disease. Hyperprolactinemia is a common hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis disease. Excessive prolactin can interfere with the function of the reproductive glands. So, can lack of sleep lead to hyperprolactinemia? Let's take a look.

1. Prolactinoma is the most common cause of hyperprolactinemia and is also the most common pituitary tumor. Idiopathic hyperprolactinemia.

2. Damage to the hypothalamus due to various reasons such as intracranial tumors or inflammation leads to a decrease in prolactin inhibitor, causing hyperprolactinemia.

3. Prolactinoma is the most common cause of hyperprolactinemia and also the most common pituitary tumor.

4. Pseudoprolactinoma: Non-functional pituitary tumor compresses the pituitary stalk and damages the hypothalamic pituitary connection, causing hyperprolactinemia.

5. Primary hypothyroidism, liver and kidney dysfunction, etc.

6. Taking metoclopramide, hibernation spirit, serotonin, estrogen, contraceptives, etc.

7. Physiological stimulation such as sleep, nipple stimulation, and sexual intercourse can temporarily increase PRL.

Therefore, it is necessary for women to prevent hyperprolactinemia, which can be prevented by targeting the above causes.
