hyperprolaktinemiaksi

Hyperprolactinemia is a medical condition characterized by elevated levels of prolactin in the blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, primarily responsible for stimulating milk production in lactating mammals. In humans, hyperprolactinemia can lead to various symptoms, including amenorrhea, infertility, galactorrhea, and erectile dysfunction. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including medications, tumors, and certain medical conditions such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure prolactin levels. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include medications to lower prolactin levels, addressing the underlying condition, or, in some cases, surgical intervention. It is important for individuals with hyperprolactinemia to consult with healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis and management.
