What to do if male pituitary prolactin is high

Many people don't know that men have high prolactin levels. It is generally believed that only women will have the problem of high prolactin levels. However, in many cases of infertility, it is found that the trend of men suffering from high prolactin levels is increasing. So what should men do if prolactin levels are high? Let's take a look at the treatment methods below.

Treatment of high prolactin in men:

1. General treatment: If the PRL level is not significantly elevated, the tumor is small, and the X-ray cannot detect it, regular follow-up should be performed and no treatment should be given for the time being. If the PRL level is elevated due to drugs, the relevant drugs should be discontinued; if the treatment is due to primary diseases such as primary hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, the treatment of the primary disease should be the main focus.

2. Drug therapy: Drug therapy is the first choice, and it should be used mainly for patients without tumor pressure symptoms. The main drugs used are: 1. Bromocriptine. 2. Megoline sulfadiazine.

3. Surgery: It is suitable for patients with large tumors and obvious compression symptoms, and those who have not seen significant effects after bromocriptine treatment for more than 3 months. However, surgery is often not thorough, especially for large tumors, and oral medication or radiation therapy is still required after surgery.

If it leads to infertility, you need to see a doctor together with your husband and wife, and then make targeted treatment. Don't miss the best time for treatment.
