Patient's question:
Doctor, what is the normal value of prolactin? What should I do about the normal value of prolactin? Since undergoing medication-induced abortion and uterine clearance in October last year, my menstrual periods have been very infrequent until now. Ultrasound examination showed no problems, but a prolactin test revealed levels of 23.807 ng/ml on the second day after menstruation and 34.067 ng/ml on the fifth day after menstruation!Doctor's answer:
Regarding the question of what the normal value of prolactin is, it is essential to take it seriously. Here is the answer to the question of what the normal value of prolactin is: The normal prolactin level is between 1.61-18.77 ng/ml. Prolactin, also known as luteinizing hormone, is one of the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. During the later stages of pregnancy and lactation, prolactin secretion is abundant to promote breast development and lactation. In non-pregnant women, the highest prolactin level in serum generally does not exceed 20 ng/ml. If the prolactin level in the blood is too high, it is called hyperprolactinemia. These individuals often experience breast tenderness, galactorrhea, and infrequent menstruation, or even amenorrhea. Therefore, it is sometimes referred to as the galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome. In patients with hyperprolactinemia, about 1/4 are caused by pituitary tumors, and some can also be due to
