Can high prolactin levels affect men as well as women?
Yes, high prolactin levels can affect both men and women, although the symptoms and consequences may differ. In men, elevated prolactin levels can lead to symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and infertility. It may also cause gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in men). Men experiencing such symptoms may require a prolactin test to diagnose the underlying cause.
Are there any natural ways to regulate prolactin levels?
While specific treatments for abnormal prolactin levels depend on the underlying cause, certain lifestyle changes can help regulate prolactin levels. Reducing stress, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, and avoiding factors that can increase prolactin levels, like certain medications and intensive physical exercise, can be beneficial. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate guidance and treatment.
How does a prolactinoma (pituitary tumour) affect prolactin levels?
A prolactinoma is a benign tumour of the pituitary gland that can cause an overproduction of prolactin, leading to higher-than-normal prolactin levels in the blood. This condition can lead to various symptoms, including menstrual irregularities in women, impotence in men, and unexplained milk production (galactorrhea). If a prolactinoma is suspected, a prolactin test, along with other diagnostic methods, is used to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
