    • To assess the efficacy of bromocriptine (parlodel) in treating women with dysmenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia.

    Summary:

    • Hyperprolactinemia was identified in 13 out of 15 women with severe primary dysmenorrhea.
    • All patients were confirmed to not have pituitary tumors and received bromocriptine treatment.
    • Eight patients experienced complete symptom relief, and five showed significant improvement.

    Impact:
