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.
During pregnancy prolactin levels increase. After the birth of a baby, a womanâs estrogen and progesterone levels drop and prolactin levels rise. These high levels of prolactin cause milk to âcome inâ or milk production to begin so a baby can be breast fed. In women who are not pregnant, prolactin is one of the hormones that regulate menstrual cycles. In males high levels of prolactin may be related to sperm production and sexual dysfunction.
