prolactinomas

How Does Prolactin Affect the Female Reproductive System?

Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates milk production in the breasts after childbirth. It also influences the menstrual cycle by inhibiting the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which in turn reduces the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Elevated prolactin levels can lead to menstrual irregularities and infertility.
