âHyperâ ( meaning over, super, or excess) or in this case Hyperprolactinemia â meaning one has an excess of prolactin or high prolactin levels. Hyperprolactinemia is a condition where non-pregnant women (or men) have too much or an excess of prolactin in their bodies.
What is hyperprolactinemia? Hyperprolactinemia is a condition in which a person has higher-than-normal levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood. The main function of prolactin is to stimulate breast milk production after childbirth, so high prolactin levels are normal in pregnancy. Prolactin also affects the levels of sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) in both women and men. Prolactin is made by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized organ found at the base of the brain.
