An interesting hormon and interesting disease: hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma

Abstract

Hyperprolactinemia, which is called as a normal release of prolactin hormone (PRL), is the most common pathological condition during endocrinological examinations. The most common type of pituitary adenomas that cause hormone hypersecretion is prolactinoma. Prolactinoma are almost always benign, but require treatment due to prolactin hypersecretion or gonadal dysfunction due to hypersecretion.
