Glossary Hyperprolactinemia

condition with abnormally high blood prolactin levels

Hyperprolactinemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that primarily stimulates breast milk production after childbirth. Elevated levels can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles in women, erectile dysfunction in men, and can sometimes be associated with conditions like pituitary tumors or hypothyroidism.
