Patient's question:
Doctor, I have experienced a significant decrease in menstrual flow and galactorrhea recently, but I am not pregnant. After examination, the doctor said it is due to high prolactin levels. I don't know what the reason for this is.Doctor's answer:
① Pituitary or sellar region tumors;② Hypothyroidism;
③ Drug-induced, including dopamine receptor antagonists and estrogens, etc.;
④ Chronic renal failure;
⑤ Prolactin (PRL) is the largest stress hormone in the human body, and any physical stress state can cause a rapid increase in PRL.
