Pituitary prolactin is slightly elevated

When a woman has high levels of prolactin, she needs to take timely measures to deal with it, because increased prolactin is not a good phenomenon. It will have many adverse effects on the human body, such as problems with ovulation and corpus luteum function, etc. Severe conditions can lead to infertility. Therefore, people need to take timely measures to deal with it. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if prolactin is a little bit high.

High prolactin levels can easily lead to ovulatory dysfunction and luteal insufficiency, which can also lead to infertility. If it is slightly higher, please observe the development of the follicles and whether the corpus luteum function is affected. The treatment methods are: one is etiological treatment, that is, different treatment methods are adopted for different causes. If it is caused by drugs, the drugs should be stopped first. If it is caused by hypothyroidism, thyroxine tablets can be taken for replacement therapy. If it is a pituitary tumor, it can be treated with drugs or surgery according to the size of the tumor. The second is to inhibit the secretion of prolactin. Bromocriptine is the first choice drug. This drug can inhibit the synthesis and secretion of prolactin, control the growth of pituitary microadenomas, and even significantly shrink the tumor. The common side effects of bromocriptine are nausea, headache, fatigue and constipation. Therefore, the medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Data show that prolactin can be significantly reduced after one week of medication, galactorrhea will stop and menstruation will resume after 2-4 weeks of medication, and ovulation and pregnancy can occur after 3-6 months of medication. The third is combined treatment. Patients with hyperprolactinemia who want to have children can be treated with bromocriptine first. If ovulation still cannot be restored, ovulation-inducing drugs can be added.
