Hyperprolactinemia

Hyperpro-lactinemia (HPRL) is a syndrome that is caused by internal and external environmental factors and is characterized by elevated PRL (≥25ng / ml), amenorrhea, galactorrhea, anovulation, and infertility. In the past 20 years, great progress has been made in the research of physiology and biochemistry of PRL. Advances in PRL radioimmunoassay, craniocerebral CT and MRI diagnosis technology have improved the diagnostic level of HPRL, and its incidence has also increased. At the same time, the advent of the antiprolactin drug Bromocriptine (Parlodel) and the development of transsphenoidal microsurgery have brought about a new situation in the diagnosis and treatment of HPRL.
