Causes of elevated prolactin in men

High prolactin means that the serum prolactin in the human body exceeds the standard value, which can cause a series of symptoms. Therefore, if the test finds high prolactin, it must be taken seriously. Many people may think that high prolactin is an abnormal phenomenon that only occurs in women.

1. Physiological reasons: Too much or too little exercise in men, long-term use of foods containing hormone drugs, as well as hypoglycemia and psychological trauma can all cause a rise in prolactin in men.

2. Objective factors: Long-term use of estrogen drugs, antihypertensive drugs, gastrointestinal drugs, and sedatives by men can cause an increase in prolactin.

3. Physiological factors: Pituitary prolactinoma, chronic renal failure, hypothalamic pituitary disease, primary hypothyroidism, and more serious liver disease are all common physiological reasons that can cause increased prolactin in men.

If a man has high prolactin, it will continue to release estrogen and progesterone from the egg, thus affecting the production and metabolism of estrogen, which will affect the perfection of male sperm. In addition, high prolactin will continue to weaken the response of sex hormones and their associated sex hormones to gonadotropin, which will affect the metabolism and exercise of the body, causing erectile dysfunction in men, and finally affecting the reproductive function of men, causing male infertility.
