Complications of high prolactin levels, will it lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

Zhejiang Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital

Doctor's answer:

When prolactin levels in the body are excessive, 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 disorders of ovarian function, reduced ovulation, or anovulatory galactorrhea, and in severe cases, amenorrhea, leading to infertility. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for examination. Based on the examination results, treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor to address the specific condition.
