    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Hyperprolactinemia is a clinical condition characterized by elevated serum prolactin levels.
    • Symptoms vary by sex, including galactorrhea and amenorrhea in women, and impotence in men.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical entity of hyperprolactinemia.
    • To discuss the differential diagnosis, emphasizing pituitary adenomas.
    • To outline current management strategies for prolactin-elevating lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of hyperprolactinemia.
    • Analysis of diagnostic considerations.
    • Evaluation of therapeutic options for pituitary adenomas.

    • Serum prolactin measurement is key to diagnosing hyperprolactinemia.
    • Pituitary adenomas are a primary concern in differential diagnosis.
    • Management strategies range from observation to surgery, radiation, and medication.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperprolactinemia diagnosis relies on serum prolactin levels.
    • Management of pituitary adenomas requires individualized approaches.
    • Pharmacological reduction of prolactin levels is a viable therapeutic option.
