Answers:
There are a few things that may be responsible for your prolactin irregularities!. In order to treat your infertility, you will need to determine what is at the bottom of your elevated prolactin levels!.
Prolactinoma,
Prolactinoma is one of the more common causes of prolactin-induced infertility!. Prolactinoma causes a tumor to grow on your pituitary gland!. This tumor secretes excess prolactin into your body!. About 10% of the population have these tumors!. They usually do not pose any health risks, besides infertility, though sometimes they can interfere with vision!.
Prescription Drugs,
Prescription drugs can cause excess secretion of prolactin!. Some anti-depressants, painkillers, and opiates block dopamine, preventing prolactin secretion from being inhibited!. This can cause your prolactin levels to rise!.
Other Causes
Other more rare causes of prolactin irregularities include:
thyroid disease
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which is a hormonal imbalance
shingles
I suggest you speak with your doctor about testing your other hormone levels though i'm sure if he checked your prolactin then he checked your Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone ect, right!? If not then speak to him about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
