Raised Prolactin (Hyperprolactinemia) and Infertility – An Ayurvedic Approach
Infertility among women is on the rise, and one major reason is hormonal imbalance. Elevated levels of Prolactin, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, can suppress ovulation and lead to irregular menstrual cycles and difficulty in conceiving.
🔹 What is Prolactin?
Prolactin helps in milk production after childbirth. When it increases before pregnancy (above 25 ng/mL), it disrupts reproductive hormones, affecting fertility.
Common Symptoms:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Milky breast discharge (without pregnancy)
- Low sexual desire
- Headache or vision problems
- Inability to conceive
🔹 Ayurvedic Understanding
In Ayurveda, raised prolactin can be linked to Artava Dosha, Stri Beeja Dosha, or Garbhashaya Dushthi.
Key causes include:
- Mental stress
- Irregular sleep patterns
