Patient's question:
I recently have high prolactin levels, so I want to ask if this condition can affect menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Good understanding. The menstrual cycle is the regular, cyclic shedding of the endometrium, influenced by hormone levels within the body. Any abnormality in any hormone level can potentially affect the menstrual cycle. Hyperprolactinemia can cause menstrual disorders; it may lead to absent menstruation. It is recommended to investigate the cause of high prolactin levels. An imaging test should be performed to examine the brain, ruling out pituitary inflammation. If there is no inflammation of the pituitary gland, it is recommended to use prolactin-lowering medication under the guidance of a doctor, while closely monitoring the recovery of the menstrual cycle.
