Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Hyperprolactinemia is a common endocrine disorder often associated with pituitary adenomas.
  • Amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome presents with irregular or absent menstruation and milk discharge.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old female presented with amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome due to hyperprolactinemia.
  • Initial investigations, including two CT scans, ruled out sellar/suprasellar abnormalities and primary hypothyroidism.

Findings:

  • Bromocriptine therapy led to galactorrhea regression, resumption of menstrual cycles, and two successful pregnancies.
  • Postpartum, the patient achieved spontaneous remission of galactorrhea with normalized prolactin levels.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the effectiveness of bromocriptine in managing hyperprolactinemia-induced infertility and menstrual dysfunction.
