Patient's question:
25 years old, male, for half a month, I feel I don't get an erection. The blood test for six male indicators shows that prolactin is twice as high and progesterone level is three times higher. What could be the possible reasons?Doctor's answer:
Hyperprolactinemia can inhibit the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the pituitary gland, further affecting male testosterone levels. Insufficient testosterone can impact libido. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo a pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify the cause of elevated prolactin. Bromocriptine can be taken to control prolactin levels. It is advised to seek examination and treatment at a reputable hospital. Wishing you good health.
