Understanding Hyperprolactinemia Causes by ukuwrerejane is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Hyperprolactinemia, classified under ICD-10 code E22.1, is characterized by increased prolactin secretion due to physiological conditions or disorders affecting its regulation. It is commonly associated with menstrual dysfunction, infertility, and galactorrhea, with a higher prevalence in women compared to men. Diagnosis involves multiple serum prolactin tests and imaging to rule out neoplastic causes, while treatment options include dopamine agonists and, in some cases, surgery or radiation therapy.
