Is prolactin over 1000 serious?

Female friends will go for a physical examination when preparing for pregnancy, among which secretin is one of the indicators. Some test results are more than 1000, which is far beyond the normal result. It is usually caused by endocrine imbalance and needs timely treatment, otherwise it will affect pregnancy. Below I will explain to you the health education knowledge about secretin.

1. Is a lactogen level of over 1000 considered high?

This is already very high, which belongs to endocrine imbalance. If prolactin is high, you can take medicine for 2-3 cycles and then return for follow-up to restore the condition. Simple high prolactin levels are rare and should not be a big problem. Whether the menstrual period is irregular or there is milk secretion, if the prolactin level returns to normal after the menstrual period, it will not be a big problem. If the lactase level continues to be high, it is recommended to check the head MRI. Some patients with pituitary cystadenoma have elevated lactase levels, which are lactase-type pituitary cystadenoma.

2. What to do if prolactin is high

1. Treatment of the cause of the disease: that is, different treatment methods are used for different causes of the disease. If it is caused by drugs, the drugs should be stopped first. If it is caused by hypothyroidism, drugs can be taken instead of treatment. If it is a pituitary tumor, medication or surgery can be used according to the size of the tumor.

2. Inhibitory treatment: Inhibit the metabolism of prolactin. By inhibiting the production and metabolism of prolactin through drugs, the growth of pituitary microadenomas can be controlled, and even the tumor can be significantly reduced. The common adverse reactions of bromocriptine are nausea, headache, fatigue and constipation. Therefore, the medicine should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. The data show that prolactin can be significantly reduced after taking the medicine for one week, milk regurgitation will stop and menstruation will be restored after taking the medicine for 2-4 weeks, and ovulation and pregnancy can occur after taking the medicine for 3-6 months.

3. Cooperative treatment: For patients with hyperprolactinuria who have fertility requirements, medication can be added first. If ovulation still cannot be restored, ovulation-inducing drugs can be added.

The above is the health education knowledge about lactogen. In fact, we need to look at the actual cause of the disease. Some are endocrine imbalances, which can be cured by conditioning. Other diseases may also cause it. Generally, active treatment will heal it, and you can get pregnant after recovery. Some also require surgery, and if the effect is not good, you need to combine medication.
