Prolactin is an important female hormone in the female body, especially when a woman is pregnant, only prolactin can stimulate the secretion of milk. However, for normal women, prolactin should be controlled within the normal range. If prolactin is too high, it will actually cause very serious harm to the body. Today's article will explain to you the causes of high prolactin levels so that you can prescribe the right medicine. Nerve stimulation Prolactin is an essential polypeptide hormone in the human body, which is secreted by the pituitary gland. The reason why many people have high prolactin levels is nerve stimulation, which refers to the stimulation of the chest or the pain caused by some nerve damage, which is transmitted to the hypothalamus through the reflex arc, causing an increase in prolactin. Another reason is that various tumor symptoms in the pituitary gland can also cause high levels of prolactin. Drug factors Drug factors are also one of the reasons for high prolactin levels. Some patients take drugs that act on the central nervous system to treat their diseases. These drugs act on the hypothalamus or on the thyroid gland to cause the release of large amounts of thyroid-stimulating hormone, resulting in high levels of prolactin. Hypothalamic dysfunction Hypothalamic dysfunction is also one of the factors leading to high prolactin levels. Diseases of the hypothalamus and adjacent parts, such as partial hypothalamic necrosis, encephalitis, various tumors, etc., can lead to hypothalamic dysfunction, thereby affecting the secretion of prolactin and causing higher prolactin levels. The above is some introduction about prolactin. I believe that after reading it, you will have a certain understanding of the reasons for high prolactin. High prolactin is a serious problem that cannot be ignored. Patients must choose a correct treatment method based on the reasons introduced above and their own condition, and also develop good living and eating habits. |
