What should I do if prolactin levels are high and menstrual flow is reduced?

Patient's question:

I went to a health check-up for low menstrual flow and had six endocrine tests. The doctor said my prolactin level was too high, which caused my low menstrual flow. I asked her what specifically caused it, but she didn't tell me because she was busy and just told me to take Chinese medicine. I want to ask: What specifically could cause such a high level? Will I never be able to get pregnant in the future? Is there any way to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Elevated prolactin levels are indeed a significant cause of infertility and can also disrupt the menstrual cycle. This is related to the adjustment of hormone levels within the body, which is not easy to explain clearly. Based on your situation, it is recommended that you start taking bromocriptine, as it has a very effective treatment for low menstrual flow and high prolactin levels. It is advisable to take care of your health. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
