    Summary

    This study explored treatments for insufficient lactation, finding that increasing prolactin levels through medication or direct administration was most effective. Early suckling stimulation also plays a key role in improving mammary function.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Lactation Physiology

    Background:

    • Lactogenesis and galactopoiesis are crucial for infant nutrition.
    • Prolactin is a key hormone regulating milk production.
    • Deficient lactation affects many postpartum individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate medical treatments for improving mammary function in cases of deficient lactation.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of direct prolactin administration versus antidopaminergic drugs.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of lactogenesis and galactopoiesis physiology.
    • Clinical trial comparing two treatment groups: direct prolactin administration and antidopaminergic drug administration.
    • Assessment of prolactin serum levels and mammary function in puerperae.

    Main Results:

    • Both direct prolactin administration and antidopaminergic drugs effectively increased prolactin serum levels.
    • Treatments aimed at increasing prolactin levels demonstrated therapeutic benefits for deficient lactation.
    • Early physiological stimulation by suckling was confirmed as beneficial.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical interventions that increase prolactin serum levels are a valuable therapeutic option for deficient lactation.
    • Antidopaminergic drugs offer a viable alternative for enhancing endogenous prolactin production.
    • Optimizing prolactin levels, alongside early suckling, is key for successful lactation.
