What to do if prolactin is high during pregnancy

Many people always encounter some unnecessary troubles during pregnancy, which will cause certain impacts on the human body. If there is high prolactin after pregnancy, it can be solved through some small methods in normal times. First of all, you should pay attention to reasonable rest and should not use medication. You can consult a doctor when necessary. You should do follow-up and physical examinations more frequently than ordinary pregnant women to confirm that it will not affect the baby.

Treatment considerations

1. The adverse reactions of bromocriptine include nausea, sometimes accompanied by vomiting; orthostatic hypotension in the early stage of treatment; a small number of patients have auditory hallucinations, delusions and mood changes.

2. Vaginal administration of the same dosage form of bromocriptine can significantly reduce gastrointestinal reactions and has the same effect on lowering PRL levels as the oral method.

3. If you become pregnant while taking bromocriptine, it is recommended to stop taking the drug 3 months after pregnancy and gradually reduce the dosage. If symptoms recur, consider restarting the medication.

4. Dopamine (DA) agonists should be discontinued with extreme caution. The usual practice is to gradually reduce the dosage according to the PRL level. The drug can be completely discontinued when the tumor has shrunk to the maximum extent or the PRL level has not increased.

5. During dopamine agonist treatment, the tumor first shrinks and then increases, which is usually caused by non-compliance with the treatment. If you tend to immediately resume full-dose medication instead of gradually increasing the dose, it will worsen the condition and cause adverse reactions to increase, further reducing compliance.

Galactorrhea, amenorrhea or infertility are almost the main complaints of all patients, and very few patients experience decreased menstrual volume.

Preventive measures: 1. Maintain a stable mood, avoid mental stimulation, and keep qi and blood flowing smoothly. Be sure to keep warm during menstruation. Especially below the waist, make sure your feet are not exposed to cold, do not touch cold water, and do not eat raw or cold food.

2. People with hyperprolactinemia should try to avoid dairy products in their diet. They can choose to eat more kelp, sardines, lettuce, etc., and try not to drink alcohol and coffee.

3. Pay attention to healthy exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, and improve your physical quality. You should strengthen physical exercise and develop a habit of doing health-preserving gymnastics or practicing Tai Chi every day, which are very beneficial for preventing diseases.

4. Drink more fruit juice and maintain a good and regular sex life, because a good and regular sex life is not easy to cause skin fever, and can indirectly stimulate the degenerated ovaries and relieve the hormone system.
