Galactorrhea-amenorrhea: psychological interaction with neuroendocrine function

H A Zacur, N P Chapanis, C R Lake

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |July 15, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Psychological disease impacts galactorrhea-amenorrhea. Treating with 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB-154) normalized psychometric profiles, reduced prolactin, and restored menses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Psychoneuroimmunology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Investigating the link between psychological distress and endocrine disorders like galactorrhea-amenorrhea.
    • Evaluating the effects of dopamine antagonists on neuroendocrine and psychological parameters.

    Observation:

    • Women with galactorrhea-amenorrhea underwent psychometric and neuroendocrine assessment.
    • Treatment involved the dopamine antagonist 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB-154).

    Findings:

    • Normalization of distorted psychometric profiles correlated with significant prolactin reduction.
    • Unexpected changes in peripheral norepinephrine and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase concentrations were observed.
    • All participants experienced cessation of galactorrhea and resumption of menses.

    Implications:

    • Suggests a significant interaction between psychological state and the galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome.
    • Highlights the therapeutic potential of dopamine antagonists in managing such conditions.
    • Indicates a complex interplay between central neurotransmitters and reproductive function.
