    TLDR People with both obvious and not-so-obvious underactive thyroid issues often have higher levels of the hormone prolactin.
    The study "Hyperprolactinemia in patients with high TSH levels with both clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism" involved 138 patients with thyroid-related issues. The research found that serum prolactin levels were significantly increased in both subclinical (28.7 ± 6.4 ng/mL) and clinical hypothyroidism (15.02 ± 4.2ng/mL) compared to controls. Hyperprolactinemia was observed in 22.9% of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and 8.3% of patients with clinical hypothyroidism. The study concluded that prolactin regulation is altered in patients with both clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism, suggesting that thyroid function tests should be conducted in patients with hyperprolactinemia before performing further tests.
