Patient's question:
Hello? I have been experiencing amenorrhea for two years due to high prolactin levels, and after taking bromocriptine for over a year, the levels have returned to normal. The doctor prescribed Dian for three months, and now I have had three menstrual cycles. Do I need to undergo a pelvic ultrasound? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your test results, your prolactin level is high. When prolactin is excessive in the body, it can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and directly affect the synthesis of sex hormones in the ovaries, leading to low serum estrogen levels. This can result in ovulatory dysfunction, reduced ovulation, or anovulatory galactorrhea, and in severe cases, amenorrhea, leading to infertility. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.
