How does Hyperprolactinemia affect fertility?

Hyperprolactinemia is marked by abnormally high levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood (normal value less than 25 nanograms per milliliter) or may be caused by the use of certain drugs, especially medicines for treating psychiatric disorders, causing prolactin to rise.

How does Hyperprolactinemia affect fertility?

 

Normally, when a woman is pregnant, the prolactin levels will increase. And after giving birth, a very high level of prolactin stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk to feed the baby.

However, apart from helping with menstruation control in women, in case of abnormality, prolactin can cause problems in conceiving. It can lead to milk leaking when not pregnant, abnormal ovulation, anovulation, amenorrhea, or even infertility.

This condition can occur in men as well. If the prolactin level is high, it can also cause milk leaking, erectile dysfunction, less sexual desire, low sperm production, inability to produce sperm, and infertility as well.

If you have high prolactin, it is recommended to consult a medical professional to check how high the prolactin level in the blood then find the right way to treat it.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!

Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.

What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?

In men > Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.

In women > Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.

It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body. 

Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.

If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.

Prime Fertility Center does not only provide infertility treatment. What Prime Fertility Center aims for and continuously develops is to provide services to customers with care, consultation, care, and concern for all your feelings, like family members. Because we understand the feelings, pressure, and stress of those who cannot successfully conceive, the clinic intends to provide warmth and full convenience to those who receive services, with determination and care from a team of expert doctors, embryologists, and a team with extensive experience in providing comprehensive care and consultation.
