Does prolactin increase during menstruation?

We all know that women's body functions change during menstruation, and the same is true for prolactin. Theoretically, after ovulation, prolactin levels will be relatively higher (compared to the follicular phase), but there is also a normal range. If prolactin (also called lactogenic hormone) is too high, it will often affect abnormal phenomena such as menstrual cycle or menstrual volume. If menstruation is normal, prolactin will generally not increase. Increased prolactin can also affect normal ovulation, etc.

Guidance:

The above analysis has shown that it is necessary to combine the normal reference value range given by the laboratory; in addition, you should also decide whether treatment is needed based on your symptoms and condition.

Acne during adolescence or post-adolescence may be related to vigorous metabolism, but it may also be related to multiple factors such as limited sebaceous gland secretion, local skin regulatory function, and local skin hygiene. It is not necessarily caused by changes in the six hormones. However, some individual hormone changes may also occur, especially increased testosterone, which can aggravate the condition.

Because there is no accurate and detailed information, it cannot be determined that this is the cause of the increase in prolactin.

Paying attention to health care is very useful, such as having a regular life (going to bed on time and avoiding staying up late), adjusting diet (including eating lighter food and eating more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E), drinking plenty of water, and paying attention to facial hygiene (including avoiding the abuse of cosmetics, as clogged pores can easily occur due to improper use).

The above introduces the changes in prolactin during menstruation. The menstrual period is very important for a woman. We should pay more attention to it in our daily life, supplement enough nutrition, exercise more, eat less things that are harmful to the body, exercise more, pay attention to relieving stress, keep a calm mind, and don't let your mood affect your health.
