What are the dangers of hyperprolactinemia?

What are the dangers of hyperprolactinemia? Many women are afraid of gynecological diseases, because the appearance of gynecological diseases can easily affect women's fertility. Hyperprolactinemia is an uncommon disease in women, but some women have discovered this disease during examinations and have developed some psychological concerns. So what impact does hyperprolactinemia have on women? The following is a detailed answer from a gynecologist.

Dangers of hyperprolactinemia:

Infertility: high prolactin levels reduce or even eliminate the LH pulse secretion of the pituitary gland, and the positive feedback mechanism of estrogen inducing the LH peak before ovulation is impaired. The secretion function of the thalamus is inhibited, thus affecting the function of the gonadal axis, causing ovulation disorders and infertility.

Menstrual abnormalities: Some patients with high prolactin levels suffer from amenorrhea, and many patients have infrequent menstruation. Some patients also experience anovulatory menstruation and luteal insufficiency.

Other disorders: Some patients with primary hypothyroidism may have an enlarged thyroid gland. Tumors near the hypothalamus or pituitary gland may cause symptoms such as hemianopsia and low vision, and may also cause hirsutism.

There are many dangers of hyperprolactinemia. This disease is very harmful to the human body, mainly affecting the endocrine system. Therefore, for female friends, active treatment is very important. I hope that women with hyperprolactinemia must actively seek treatment to avoid the deterioration of the disease and cause adverse effects.
