⚠️ HOW HIGH PROLACTIN AFFECTS FERTILITY
High prolactin can:
➡️Stop ovulation
➡️Cause irregular menstrual cycles
➡️Delay periods
➡️Reduce progesterone production
➡️Make conception difficult
If ovulation does not occur, pregnancy cannot happen.
🚨 SYMPTOMS OF HIGH PROLACTIN
Some women may notice:
➡️Irregular or absent periods
➡️Milky discharge from the breast (when not pregnant)
➡️Difficulty getting pregnant
➡️Low libido
➡️Headaches or vision problems (rare but important)
Sometimes there are no obvious symptoms, which is why blood testing is important.
🧠 POSSIBLE CAUSES
High prolactin may be caused by:
➡️Stress
➡️Certain medications
➡️Thyroid problems
➡️Pituitary gland tumor called Prolactinoma
➡️Excess stimulation of the breast
Most cases are treatable once properly diagnosed.
