Patient's question:
Hyperprolactinemia and high testosterone levels can affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause elevated prolactin levels. PCOS is due to dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent relationships and regulation between these components, leading to prolonged anovulation in the ovaries. The typical clinical manifestations of this condition include menstrual disorders associated with anovulation, such as amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, oligomenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles. It is often accompanied by hirsutism, obesity, infertility, bilateral ovarian enlargement, or unilateral ovarian growth, as well as changes in hormone levels, all of which contribute to infertility. It is recommended that you choose a regular specialized hospital for a detailed examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
