Monitor Prolactin: The Hidden Consequences of Elevation
High prolactin levels in men can lead to significant health issues, including reduced testosterone production, gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and infertility. While short-term increases may not necessitate urgent medical intervention, persistent elevation poses risks, especially if accompanied by symptoms like galactorrhea or amenorrhea. Chronic hyperprolactinemia can additionally lead to osteoporosis and heightens the risk of breast cancer for both genders. It is crucial to monitor and address these elevations to prevent long-term complications.
