What is hyperprolactinemia?

Hyperprolactinemia is a disease caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, and the main symptoms will present with decreased menstrual flow, scanty menstruation, etc., which can easily affect female fertility and cause infertility and other effects. Prolactin is a peptide hormone, also known as prolactin, which is normally secreted after pregnancy to promote mammary gland development and lactation, and prolactin levels do not rise significantly in non-pregnant women. If prolactin is found to be abnormal, accompanied by menstrual abnormalities, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and if necessary, need to undergo an MRI scan to see if there is a pituitary tumor in the brain, etc., and need to choose the appropriate way to symptomatic treatment under the doctor’s advice. It is recommended to pay more attention to the menstrual situation and whether there is abnormal lactation, if there is any abnormality, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment in time.
