Is high prolactin related to polycystic ovary syndrome?

Prolactin is a growth hormone in human body. Excessive prolactin can cause certain harm to the body, such as listlessness, nausea and retching, and general fever. There are many reasons for high prolactin, so is high prolactin related to polycystic ovary syndrome? What are the consequences of high prolactin? Let me introduce them one by one.

Is high prolactin related to polycystic ovary disease? High prolactin is related to polycystic ovary disease. Some primary diseases will affect the endocrine system of the body, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, which will cause pituitary dysfunction and ovarian dysfunction in the body, and may cause imbalance between luteal copper and follicle-stimulating hormone in the body, which may lead to an increase in prolactin in the body in the long run. Once you get polycystic ovary syndrome, you need to go to the hospital for examination, and then carry out targeted treatment to prevent the increase of prolactin components in the body from producing hyperprolactinemia.

The causes of prolactin production are complicated, and physiological factors will lead to the increase of prolactin components in women. For example, during pregnancy and lactation, the level of prolactin will rise, and the composition of prolactin will also rise after 3 to 4 weeks after delivery. After sexual life, the prolactin level in women will temporarily increase, so everyone must pay attention. Secondly, there are many physiological factors that will lead to the increase of prolactin level in the body. Once the hypothalamus and pituitary of the body get sick, it will affect the function of the body's ovaries and may lead to an increase in the level of prolactin.

Friends with high prolactin should pay attention to their lifestyle, adjust their psychological state, actively cope with and enrich their daily life, and be able to do their favorite fitness exercises, such as walking, running, cycling, dancing, jumping flies, swimming and so on. Can make people forget their troubles and make themselves happy. In addition, they need to maintain a periodic lifestyle, which can maintain the function of the body's ovaries.

The consequence of high prolactin is that prolactin is a polypeptide hormone, also called prolactin (PRL), which is one of the hormones secreted by pituitary gland. In the late pregnancy and lactation, women secrete prolactin vigorously, which promotes breast development and lactation. The highest level of prolactin in serum of non-pregnant women generally does not exceed 20 ng/ml. There are many reasons for high prolactin, which are closely related to many factors. Among them, irregular menstruation leads to rare menstruation, early amenorrhea after menstruation, and various body tumors will lead to excessive prolactin. So go to the hospital in time to find the cause, otherwise it will lead to more serious diseases. High prolactin can cause the following symptoms and causes.

1. Irregular menstruation: primary amenorrhea is 4%, secondary amenorrhea is 89%, and oligomenorrhea is 7%. Uterine bleeding and corpus luteum insufficiency were 23% ~ 77%. Ovulation disorder and luteal dysfunction are characterized by scanty menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility, as well as habitual abortion, loss of libido, hirsutism and acne. Gynecological examination showed symptoms of estrogen deficiency such as vaginal mucosa dryness and decreased secretion.

2, galactorrhea: milk can be seen when squeezing both breasts, and fat drops can be seen under the microscope. Non-tumor type was 20.84%. Tumor type accounted for 70.52%. Simple galactorrhea is 63 ~ 83.55%. Most of the breasts are normal or accompanied by lobular hyperplasia or giant breasts.

3. Osteopenia: Long-term decrease of estrogen level caused by HP can lead to decrease of bone density.

4. When there is high prolactin, visual impairment, nervous system diseases, hypopituitarism, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and other diseases may occur.
