Elevated prolactin levels suppress ovulation and can cause milky discharge from the breasts, but respond well to medication.
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates breast milk production. When prolactin is elevated outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, it suppresses GnRH and subsequently LH and FSH — hormones essential for ovulation. The result is irregular or absent periods and infertility.
Hyperprolactinemia is one of the most treatable causes of infertility. Iswarya Fertility's specialists prescribe dopamine agonists (cabergoline or bromocriptine) to normalise prolactin and restore ovulation, often achieving spontaneous pregnancy within a few months.
