Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of irregular menstruation, which occurs only once every few months. The examination results showed endocrine disorder. My sex hormone test report indicated elevated prolactin. The doctor recommended that I undergo a cranial pituitary examination. What are the possible outcomes of this examination? Is there a high chance of having a pituitary tumor? Will surgery be required?Doctor's answer:
A decrease in prolactin is a disease of endocrine dysfunction in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. It can also be caused by conditions such as primary hypothyroidism, idiopathic amenorrhea and galactorrhea syndrome, primary hyperthyroidism, renal insufficiency, and bronchial cancer. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital hygiene, changing underwear frequently, and paying attention to vaginal hygiene. A light diet should be the foundation.
