What to do if prolactin is high and estrogen is low

Many people's bodies not only have high prolactin, but also low estrogen. The combination of these two requires people to slowly adjust. For example, in the usual treatment of high prolactin, it is necessary to find suitable inhibitory drugs, and in the treatment of low estrogen, it is necessary to find diet and medication to improve it. The combination of the two can achieve the recovery effect. Only adjusting one will make the other more serious.

How to treat high blood pressure: 1. Etiological treatment, that is, take different treatment methods for different causes. If it is caused by drugs, the drugs should be stopped first. If it is caused by hypothyroidism, thyroxine tablets can be taken for replacement therapy. If it is a pituitary tumor, it can be treated with drugs or surgery according to the size of the tumor.

2. Inhibit the secretion of prolactin. Bromocriptine is the first choice drug. This drug can inhibit the synthesis and secretion of prolactin, control the growth of pituitary microadenomas, and even significantly shrink the tumor. The common side effects of bromocriptine are nausea, headache, fatigue and constipation. Therefore, the medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Data show that prolactin can be significantly reduced after one week of medication, galactorrhea will stop and menstruation will resume after 2-4 weeks of medication, and ovulation and pregnancy can occur after 3-6 months of medication.

3. Combined treatment: Patients with hyperprolactinemia who want to have children can be treated with bromocriptine first. If ovulation still cannot be restored, ovulation-inducing drugs can be added.

In addition to maintaining health in the human body, estrogen also plays a significant role in medicine. So, what are the estrogen drugs?
