“Many women mistake high prolactin levels for an infection…
But the truth is, it’s often a hormonal imbalance — not an infection.
Let’s talk about hyperprolactinemia — what causes it and how you can manage it.”
* WHAT IS PROLACTIN?
> “Prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland.
It helps women produce breast milk after childbirth.
But when prolactin becomes too high — a condition called hyperprolactinemia — it can affect your menstrual cycle, fertility, and even cause breast discharge.”
* CAUSES OF HIGH PROLACTIN (Hyperprolactinemia)
> “High prolactin levels can happen for many reasons — not just infection.
Common causes include:
Stress or lack of sleep
Certain medications like birth control pills or antidepressants
Pituitary gland disorders
Thyroid problems
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Even constant ni**le stimulation or chest injury.”
* EFFECTS ON WOMEN
> “When prolactin is high, it can stop ovulation, delay your period, cause infertility, breast discharge, or low sexual desire.
That’s why it’s important to find out the cause — not just treat the symptoms.”
*TREATMENT OPTIONS
> “Treatment depends on the cause.
Doctors often prescribe medications like Cabergoline or Bromocriptine to help lower prolactin levels.
But remember — these drugs should only be used under medical supervision.”
* NATURAL SUPPORT
> “In addition to medical treatment, you can help your hormones naturally by:
Managing stress
Getting enough rest
Avoiding tight clothing around the breast
Eating hormone-balancing foods
Checking your thyroid levels.”
> “If you notice symptoms like irregular periods, breast discharge, or infertility, don’t assume it’s an infection.
Get your prolactin level checked and talk to your doctor.
Early diagnosis makes treatment easier.”
“Your health is priceless. Stay informed.”
