Beware of the dangers of hyperprolactinemia

Do you know about high prolactin? Experts point out that if a woman's prolactin blood level is too high, it is called hyperprolactinemia. We should be alert to the dangers of hyperprolactinemia. So, what effects does hyperprolactinemia have on women's bodies?

(1) Infertility: High prolactin levels in the human pituitary gland inhibit the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Women may become infertile or even have early miscarriage due to anovulation.

(2) Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea: Endocrine disorders in women can affect the menstrual cycle, causing infrequent menstruation or even amenorrhea. Women’s luteinizing hormone levels can be low, leading to anovulation.

Experts remind: Locating the cause is the prerequisite for treatment. Generally speaking, if prolactin is too high, you can follow the principle of "simple first, then complex" to check the cause one by one, and then give symptomatic treatment. CT examination can be used to determine whether there is a pituitary tumor or hypothalamic lesion, and serum and X-ray examinations can be used to determine whether there is hypothyroidism, liver and kidney disease, and then determine the treatment plan in a targeted manner.

Warm reminder: If the pituitary prolactin is too high, you should go to a regular medical institution for examination in time to determine the cause and treat the symptoms. Female patients should not try to get pregnant before they are cured. Not only is the success rate extremely low, but even if they get pregnant, they are very likely to miscarry. The above is the expert's introduction to the impact of hyperprolactinemia on the female body. I hope it will be helpful to you. I wish you a speedy recovery!
