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, my prolactin levels have returned to normal. The doctor prescribed Diane-35 for me to take for three months, and my menstruation returned after three months. Do I need to undergo a hysterosalpingogram in this situation? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your test results, your prolactin level is high. When prolactin is excessively high 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 cause disorders in ovarian function, reduced ovulation, or anovulatory galactorrhea, and in severe cases, amenorrhea, resulting in infertility. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.
