A member asked:
What are the negative effects of hyperprolactinemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low hormone levels: Elevated prolactin levels lower the pituitary hormones that stimulate the production of reproductive hormones. This will cause low estrogen and lack of ovulation and periods in women and low testosterone in men.
