What are the dangers of high prolactin in men?

Many people think that only women can suffer from high prolactin. In fact, this is not the case. Men can also suffer from this disease. This is a very dangerous disease. If it is not treated in time, blood will appear, and there are some other hazards. So what are the dangers of high prolactin in men? This is what many male friends want to know. Here is a brief introduction to this issue.

What are the dangers of high prolactin in men?

Prolactin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that can maintain the endocrine balance of the human body. If the pituitary gland or hypothalamus is abnormal, it will lead to increased prolactin secretion, which will affect the endocrine balance and bring many effects to the human body. Male hyperprolactinemia is mainly caused by pituitary prolactinoma, which leads to abnormal secretion. However, men are much lower than women in terms of abnormal prolactin. However, male hyperprolactinemia should not be ignored.

The dangers of hyperprolactinemia in men:

1. Decreased libido (83%). The size of the testicles of patients who develop the disease after sexual maturity does not change much, but they are mainly soft.

2. Prepubertal patients have small and soft testicles, oligoasthenozoospermia or azoospermia, and sometimes pubic hair loss.

3. Male patients with hyperprolactinemia rarely have spontaneous galactorrhea. They are generally obese, with obvious fat accumulation. Fat accumulation in the breast is common. Gynecomastia is not common, suggesting that gynecomastia is not closely related to hyperprolactinemia.

4. Blood hormone measurement usually shows low gonadotropin-induced hypogonadism, but blood PRI is significantly elevated.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of high prolactin in men. I hope it can help everyone. People often have some limitations and think that men will not suffer from some breast diseases, which is actually wrong. However, as long as the lifestyle is normal, with reasonable intention and exercise, the chance of suffering from the disease is still very small. Everyone should know this.
