Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me what prolactin is?Doctor's answer:
Prolactin is a protein hormone secreted by acidophilic cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Its main functions include promoting the development and growth of mammary glands, stimulating and maintaining lactation, and stimulating the production of LH receptors in follicles. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination, identify the cause after diagnosis, and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
