Violation of the Menstrual Cycle in Hypoprolactinemia and Hyperprolactinemia

Hyperprolactinemia is a disease in which the level of prolactin hormone in the blood is significantly higher than normal values. This hormone is called "milk" and its action is primarily related to the enlargement and secretion of the mammary glands, stimulation of lactation (milk production). In fact, prolactin is involved in many biochemical processes that regulate the activity of the female body. It plays an important role in the functioning of the reproductive system, regulating the metabolism and correcting the psycho-emotional state. Therefore, a pathological increase in its level can lead to menstrual disorders, infertility, frigidity (absence of sexual desire), anorgasmia (inability to reach orgasm), obesity, osteoporosis, increased insulin secretion, etc
