What are the reasons for high prolactin in men?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to inquire about the reasons for high prolactin in men. What causes high prolactin and estradiol in the male pituitary? What complications can it lead to? What treatment should be recommended? I am a male, 22 years old, and during the summer vacation, my nipple eczema recurred several times. The doctor recommended me to check the five sexual hormones.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, about 1/4 are caused by pituitary tumors, and some can be due to hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, hypothyroidism, kidney insufficiency, other malignant tumors, chest wall injury, and drug-related reasons.
Guidance:
It is recommended that you pay attention to going to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause before receiving effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
