Patient's question:
I have always had regular menstruation, but this month my period arrived very late and lasted for a while. I feel very upset and don't know what's going on. Additionally, after a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found that my prolactin levels are a bit high.Hello, what should I do about high prolactin and irregular menstruation?
Doctor's answer:
High prolactin levels in the body can easily affect the normality of menstruation. In some cases, it can even lead to a significant increase in menstrual flow or even recurring amenorrhea. This is closely related to the function of the pituitary gland. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo a brain CT scan. If no inflammation is detected in the pituitary gland, you can persist in taking bromocriptine orally under the guidance of a professional doctor and have irregular follow-up examinations to adjust the dosage as needed. As long as the levels stabilize, menstruation will return to normal.
