- Abstract
Hyperprolactinaemia is one of the most frequent causes of anovulation, resulting in infertility and hypoestrogenic state with consequences on overall women’s health. Recent investigations on biological actions of prolactin, especially prolactin of extrapituitary origin, expand our knowledge on prolactin role in the human organism and open new questions connected with female reproductive function and treatment of female infertility. This article represents the review of current knowledge on prolactin physiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, assessment, differential diagnosis,and treatment of hyperprolactinaemia in the female patient.
