Bromocriptine
Q. What is hyperprolactinemia?
Hyperprolactinemia is a condition in which a person has higher-than-normal levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the brain's pituitary gland. In women, prolactin regulates periods and helps the breasts produce milk. A high level of prolactin reduces estrogen (female sex hormone) and interferes with ovulation, causing irregular or absent periods and affecting fertility. It also leads to low bone density and causes women who aren't pregnant to produce breast milk. High prolactin also affects the levels of testosterone (male sex hormone).
Q. How is hyperprolactinemia diagnosed?
A blood test can show whether your prolactin level is higher than normal. If it’s borderline, you may be tested twice to be sure. Your doctor may also give you a physical exam and order an MRI to get an image of your brain.
Q. What is the normal level of prolactin in the body?
The normal values for prolactin are:<br>Men: less than 20 ng/mL (425 µg/L)<br>Nonpregnant women: less than 25 ng/mL (25 µg/L)<br>Pregnant women: 80 to 400 ng/mL (80 to 400 µg/L)
