Does anyone have high levels of PROLACTIN ?????

Question:

Are you taking any medication? I had a problem with hyperprolactinemia which turned out to be a side effect of the drug Verapamil (the generic name; Calan is the brand name), which I was taking to control migraines. Upon first discovering the problem, my gynecologist sent me to an endocrinologist who, (after I had an MRI to check for tumors on my hypothalamus or my pituitary and finding nothing), concluded that my elevated prolactin levels were a side effect of birth control pills. Having been off BCPs for over a year at that time, I found that to be strange. He put me on Parlodel, which can have some pretty bad side effects. It was very rough on my stomach, and that’s the least of the side effects, from what I’ve read.  I continued to take my Verapamil, as the doctor assured me the two drugs would not interact. Well as time went on, my prolactin levels flutuated up and down. I began to do some research on my own and found that elevated prolactin levels was a rare, but very real side effect of Verapamil, a calcium-channel blocker. So what was happening was that the two drugs were "fighting it out". I stopped taking Verapamil, and my prolactin level eventually returned to normal.  To make a long, frustrating story short, everything worked itself out, and I am now almost 4 months pregnant. My situation was rare, and it may not help you at all. But it was a long process to get to the bottom of it, and it was such a simple thing to correct. Good luck-  I hope your solution turns out to be as simple as mine was.

I found out near the end of high school that I have hyperprolactinemia– levels in the high 80s, with some lactation.  I asked for a check up because of my irregular to nonexistent periods and other symptoms (as I put it back then, "My body’s acting like it’s pregnant, and I *know* I’m not because there’s one thing ya have to do to get pregnant & I haven’t done it!!!"). It’s been eight years since then, and I’m still on Parlodel, a very low dose (2.5mg/day) which has pulled my prolactin levels well back to normal.  CT scans & MRI’s have always been negative. The good news is, time can deal with the side effects (mine were pretty violent, but I hear that’s VERY unusual, but now they’re non-existant– I don’t bother to eat when taking it any more) of the Bromocriptine, and hyperprolactinemia itself isn’t such a big deal once controlled. I still don’t seem to be ovulating though, so for me, there must be something else going on yet.  Now my only problem is that my insurance company periodically rejects covering the Parlodel since it’s "a fertility-related expense."  I have a form letter on my hard drive now– I fill in the date, print it, and mail ng before I started trying to get pregnant and they better keep covering it.  I had to send that about every other month for a year, and now they seem to have it down.  Now, they actually cover everything not directly conception related (ie they won’t cover the clomiphene) because they say it goes toward solving the anovuluation disorder, not infertility.  Some clouds have a silver lining, I guess. Hyperprolactinemia?  With the Parlodel (Bromocriptine), it’s easily controlled.  Bromocriptine is not the worst drug you could ever hope to take– it’s actually not bad once you’ve adjusted to it.  Although the continuing infertility is sending me up a creek with frustration, I decided long ago that it’s not such a big deal *for me.*  But I only got to that point after giving myself plenty of time to get over the initial fears!

Hallo Tereza My prolactin level is also high, although I still had my periods every month.  My level was 250 when it was tested the first time.  I was put on medication called Parlodel (1x 2,5mg 3 x per day).  At the moment I only have to drink one per day.  The medication is very expensive.  South African monetary unit : R 5 per day (approximately 1 Britsh pound), but I suspect that you might find it cheaper. My RE wants my prolactin level to be under 20, to enable me to get pregnant.   Good luck, and don’t worry about the side-effects.  It will pass. Laetitia

Response:

I also had high prolactin levels (497). The doctor put me on 2.5 mg parlodel pills twice a day. My levels are now around 15. The way I avoided side effects was a gradual buildup of the medication until I was at the prescribed dosage. The first week I only took 1/2 pill per day (1.25 mg.) The next week I took 1/2 pill twice a day (2.5 mg). The next week I added another 1/2 pill (2.5 mg a.m. and 1.25 mg. p.m.). The next week I achieved my dosage which was 1 whole pill twice a day. I was nauseous the first day of each new dosage, but I drank a soft drink and that made it go away. Parlodel is also expensive in Tennessee, U.S.A. Luckily my insurance covers it and I get a month supply for under $15.

Hi all, Today I’m sad, now I know for facts that something is wrong. Yesterday I went to see my doctor and he gave me the bad news. My prolactin level is very high, more than the double that I should have. The high figure is causing ovulation inhibition and .. Does anyone know more about PROLACTIN ????? Please, I need something!

Tereza, My sister also discovered she had elevated Prolactin levels, when she saw a GYN after her periods had stopped for several months (she was not ovulating, either). Her doctor diagnosed her as having a pituitary adnoma (or something like that), which was an otherwise benign tumor on the pituitary gland that was messing up her hormones. He prescribed medication to shrink the tumor, but I don’t know what it was. This was years ago, and I don’t want to depress you, but I remember her complaining that the medication made her very nauseous and somewhat depressed, but did cause her periods to return within a couple of months. They played around with the dosage and composition of her prescription for a while to try to alleviate the side effects. The good news is, she got pregnant a couple of years later (unexpectedly and unfortunately, since she was unmarried and had only been dating the guy a few months). Of course, she had to stop the medication immediately upon finding out that she was pregnant. They decided to get married and have the baby, and she had a completely trouble-free pregnancy, with a 2-1/2 hour labor (I’m very jealous). My neice is now almost 4 years old and is a darling little girl. My sister’s prolactin levels have been at normal levels since the birth, her periods normal, and the problem has not returned. (I won’t get into the rocky marriage that my sister suffers through, however… certainly don’t follow in her footsteps!) So if your elevated prolactin is due to a similar condition, it is apparently controllable with proper medication (though you may have some side effects…) and "reversible", since it hasn’t recurred for my sister.

                                                       If I may comment on the symptoms you mention, perhaps I can show how unclear this is, particularly when you post this list on a *pregnancy* group. [snipped...]

Thank you Anna for your long description of the various symptoms that present during pregnancy. It was very enlightening. I was not aware of them, as I have never set foot in the *pregnancy* newsgroup. If you had read the initial article in the thread, you would have seen that the thread isn’t about pregnancy, but about *getting* pregnant. If you had checked, you would have seen that it was posted to the two infertility newsgroups. Don.

Hi all, Today I’m sad, now I know for facts that something is wrong. Yesterday I went to see my doctor and he gave me the bad news. My prolactin level is very high, more than the double that I should have. The high figure is causing ovulation inhibition and it’s also affecting my progesterone levels.

My prolactin was about 60–pretty high.  I still ovulated with this high level, but am told I would never have been able to get pregnant with the low progesterone levels it caused. My doctor sent me to another doctor, probably in 2 weeks time I’ll see a gynaecologist.

He’ll probably want to do an MRI to check for a *benign* pituitary tumor. I found the MRI and the very word "tumor" very frightening, but was reassured that pituitary tumors, if they do exist, are most always benign. It turned out that I didn’t have a tumor and the cause for my high level is unknown. He said that he can prescribe something but he wants a specialist to do so.

This would be Parlodel.  Bromocriptine is the generic name. I’m a little bit afraid, these drugs have mso many bad effects ….

I have been dizzy with Parlodel, but ask my husband and he’d say I was dizzy before.  :-) Seriously, I’ve had such minimal effects compared to what I felt on Clomid.  And I feel much more stable emotionally now that my hormones are sorting themselves out.  This drug is definitely my friend. I’m scared too because I know that many fertility treatments start with hormones, then they find something else wrong and these painful cycles don’t seem to have an end.

Painful how?  Emotionally or physically?  ("Both!" she yelled.)  I ask only because I also have endometriosis and most of my physical pain is connected to that.  I’ve found that an increase in progesterone production helps minimize my endo pain.  So the Parlodel might help rather than making things worse. Treatment decisions can immobilize us with fear.  Let me know if I can help. jitter

Tereza, I too had a very high prolactin level. My orginal levels were 82 (but you should know that each lab has its own defination of high) my period was not regular, and at some points I was lactating. It turned out that I had two micro anomalies in my pituitary. I too was put on Parlodel for two years it lowered the level to 30, but I had very bad side effects. Dizziness, nausea but worst of all it made me feel very spacey and sent me into a deep depression. I saw many (at least 4 doctors, I’ve moved a lot after college) doctors, some see this as a  very serious problem, some don’t. My most recent doctor has told me that 20% of woman have a pitutary tumour and just don’t know it. All of my doctor have told me that I should have no problems getting Pregnant if the cycle has returned. (My husband and I are going to try this summer :-)   )    If they do put you on parlodel. take it at night on a full stomach and don’t drink an alcohol at all. BTW after 2 years on the parlodel, I am off with regular periods and a level holding at around 30. a couple of my doctors have said that my level will go down after having children? I would love to hear from anyone who has/ or has not had this happen. Thanks Carrie Pantier

Response:

Oh my goodness, I have all the symtoms! Actually, I am not convinced its Coeliacs disease because I’ve been tested for that (along with almost every other allergic/intolerance type condition known to man). If I may comment on the symptoms you mention, perhaps I can show how unclear this is, particularly when you post this list on a *pregnancy* group. Chronic fatigue – One of the most common celiac symptoms Weakness – One of the most common celiac symptoms. Dizziness – About 5% of celiac patients get nerve damage…{snip} Headaches – Common celiac symptom.

All the above could be symtoms of early pregnancy, so a good number of mkp posters will have these symptoms, at the moment. They can also be symtoms of depression. Feeling bad all over, like having the flu – Typical celiac symptom…{snip} Muscle and joint pains – Common celiac symptom.

This sounds like a description of me while pregnant. It’s also me with flu, along with the other symptoms you mention. One assumes that Coeliacs symtoms lasting 2 weeks is more likely to be flu? The problem is, we’ve got a flu epidemic in Britain, with at least 6 different viruses going around. I have a poor immune system, so so far this winter, I’ve had two bad bouts and one milder bout. But then with being pregnant and all, it’s hard to tell where flu begins and morning sickness ends. I understand that pregnant people are more prone to viruses as their immune systems are suppressed by pregnancy. Therefore, it makes sense that a lot of mkp’s have got or had flu recently. Numbness, especially in the hands or feet – See dizziness above…{snip}

Well, carpal tunnel symdrome and sciatica are both common in pregnancy and can cause numbness and tingling. Asthma – Celiacs are more susceptible to having allergies, possibly due to a deficiency of magnesium.

I don’t know about this magnesium theory. I’m chronically asthmatic and have tried nearly every quack remedy on the market. I also worry about this because asthma is increasingly common and yet a fair number of people are either undiagnosed or inadequately treated. Chronic, adult type asthma can cause a generally poor oxygenation of the blood, leading to chronic fatigue, weakness, joint pains etc. First sort out the asthma, and if that doesn’t work, then look for other possible causes. Chronic sinusitis – Celiacs are more susceptible to sinus problems.

There is also a condition of pregnancy which my doctor called (for want of a proper name) "gestational rhinitis". From the day I get pregnant, my sinuses stuff up, and judging from mkp, it’s quite common. Allergies – Celiacs are more susceptible to having other food intolerances and allergies.

True, but allergies are increasingly common in general, although I think far too much is made of them sometimes. Irritability – Common celiac symptom.

Common pregnancy symptom? I’ll bite your nose off if you disagree with me !… Abdominal pain – Common celiac symptom.

The most common cause is constipation, which could be called an epidemic of the Western world. Constipation can lead to all sorts of problems, including tiredness, fatigue, weakness etc. Constipation is the no.1 cause of abdo pain in pregnancy. Other causes of abdo pain are the womb stretching, pelvis ligament pain, low-grade urinary tract infections and being kicked in a painful place. Constipation or diarrhea – Both common celiac symptoms.

See abdo pain. Gas – Very common celiac symptom.

Common in pregnancy. Chronic athlete’s foot or jock itch – Not known as a celiac symptom, but celiacs would be a weakened host. Yeast rashes – What does a yeast rash look like? …{snip}

Pregnant women are very prone to yeast infections of all kinds. Feeling worse when deprived of sugar containing foods or simple carbohydrates such as potatoes – An undiagnosed celiac can have food cravings as they are malnourished.

So can pregnant women. Chronic vaginal infections – Don’t know, but the host body is weakened.

I assume you mean thrush. See yeast infections. Premenstrual syndrome like symptoms – Anecdotally a celiac symptom.

Common in early pregnancy. Please don’t take this as a criticism. I appreciate you passing on this information, but I just wanted to point out that pregnancy can cause a lot of these problems, so women shouldn’t go panicking that they’ve got Coeliacs disease. After finding out for a friend, I have discovered that there is now a simple blood test that can detect Coeliac’s in the vast majority of sufferers, and a bowel test, called an endoscopy can also be performed to make extra sure. I agree that Coeliacs (as we British *correctly* spell it! :-) ) is underdiagnosed, but it is still relatively uncommon, whereas the symtoms you list are (taken individually) relatively common. In fact, as I said, I have almost all the symptoms you mention for both Coeliacs and chronic Candiasis (yeast) and yet I know that they are caused by a combination of a weak immune system (due to steroids), chronic asthma and pregnancy. Things ain’t always as they seem. :-) — Anna (mummy to Emma, born 17th Jan 1995 and mummy-to-be September 16th) The Lord God says: ‘Share your bread with the hungry, bring the homeless poor into your house, cover the naked’.

Don: I am confused about the article you posted.  What does this gluten intolerance have to do with hyperprolactemia, which I though affected the pituitary and not the bowel system?  Also, are you suggesting that by avoiding wheat products a person can restore his or her fertility?  If so, how does this differ from the "yeast" theory?  Please explain. Rennie

Response:

I am confused about the article you posted.  What does this gluten intolerance have to do with hyperprolactemia, which I though affected the pituitary and not the bowel system?

Gluten damages the lining of the small intestine in people that are gluten intolerant. Several things then happen. One, the patient becomes nutritionally deficient, usually of fat soluble minerals and vitamins. Second the patient has a leaky gut and large molecules that are normally kept in can get through. These things can then cause more than a hundred different secondary symptoms in the body, one being hyperprolactinaemia. High prolactin seems to be used by the body as a signal to the reproductive system saying it is not okay to get pregnant. I say this as women who are lactating have high levels of prolactin, which would be a signal to not get pregnant during that time. Also when the female body is very thin, i.e. has no nutritional stores, she can’t get pregnant either. This would appear to be nature’s way to not produce more children during times of nutritional distress, like famines.                                Also, are you suggesting that by avoiding wheat products a person can restore his or her fertility?

Yes, but only if the person is gluten intolerant. This genetic condition only afflicts certain ethnic groups, primarily people of European descent, even more so if they are Northern European, and even more so if Northwestern European, e.g. Western Ireland or Iceland. Blood testing in Iceland found 7.5% had some sensitivity to gluten. This excellent web page explains why so many people are intolerant to gluten (which I can send if one doesn’t have web access):  http://www.hooked.net/users/sadams/history.html If so, how does this differ from the "yeast" theory?

I don’t believe in the "yeast" theory. The proponents of this theory don’t seem to have ever heard of gluten intolerance, though removing gluten products is one of the ways they control their problem. The following list of common symptoms of low level Candida albicans infections was found on a web page. I have used it as a framework to compare with some of the symptoms of an undiagnosed gluten intolerant person (celiac and gluten intolerance are used interchangeably below): Chronic fatigue – One of the most common celiac symptoms. Weakness – One of the most common celiac symptoms. Dizziness – About 5% of celiac patients get nerve damage that can vary from tingling and numbness in the feet to confusion, memory loss, dizziness and loss of balance, visual abnormalities. This sometimes happen in the absence of GI symptoms. Epilepsy (with calcification in the brain) does respond when gluten is fully removed. Headaches – Common celiac symptom. Cold sweats and/or night sweats –  Have never heard of it as a celiac symptom. Feeling bad all over, like having the flu – Typical celiac symptom, to the extent one thinks of flu as diarrhea, weakness, and muscular/bone aches and pains. Muscle and joint pains – Common celiac symptom. Sore throat – Not generally considered a celiac symptom, but I have heard reports from a few members of a support group. Also have heard about swollen glands in the neck. Low grade fever – Not a known celiac symptom. Numbness, especially in the hands or feet – See dizziness above. Another celiac symptom is called peripheral neuropathy (possibly due to folic acid deficiency). Also abnormal or impaired skin sensation (paresthesia), including burning, prickling, itching or tingling. Also the celiac FAQ lists central and peripheral nervous system disease. Asthma – Celiacs are more susceptible to having allergies, possibly due to a deficiency of magnesium. Chronic sinusitis – Celiacs are more susceptible to sinus problems. Allergies – Celiacs are more susceptible to having other food intolerances and allergies. Irritability – Common celiac symptom. Abdominal pain – Common celiac symptom. Constipation or diarrhea – Both common celiac symptoms. Gas – Very common celiac symptom. Chronic athlete’s foot or jock itch – Not known as a celiac symptom, but celiacs would be a weakened host. Yeast rashes – What does a yeast rash look like? Some celiacs have had eczema and hives clear up when going gluten-free. Also 5% of celiacs get dermatitis herpetiformis, which is very itchy rash which is most commonly on the outside of elbows, knees, top of buttocks, or on the back shoulders, neck and scalp. Feeling worse when deprived of sugar containing foods or simple carbohydrates such as potatoes – An undiagnosed celiac can have food cravings as they are malnourished. Feeling weaker on damp days or after bathing – Not a celiac symptom. Feeling worse when exposed to mold, dust, chemicals, or pollutants – Celiacs are more susceptible to having allergies. Elevated Epstein-Barr virus titers, indicating a recent reactivation of the virus – Don’t know. Heart pains – Not known as a celiac symptom. However, with severe anemia, there are often uncomfortable heart palpitations. Also, I suppose heartburn could be a symptom as some celiacs vomit after gluten consumption. General reproductive problems – Infertility is a known celiac symptom in both sexes. It is due to malnourishment. Also gynecological disorders like spontaneous abortions. Chronic vaginal infections – Don’t know, but the host body is weakened. Premenstrual syndrome like symptoms – Anecdotally a celiac symptom. Irregular menstrual cycles or unusual menstrual pain – Untreated celiac women often have low estrogen levels and an erratic or non-existent menstrual cycle (amenorrhea). For young untreated celiac girls, the onset of menarche can be delayed. Women with a long history of malabsorption will sometimes reach menopause at a younger age; in some cases as early as in their late twenty’s. Anecdotally unusual menstrual pain is a celiac symptom. If you have any more questions feel free to ask,

Hi Tereza, Don’t worry too much about the Prolactin.  I was found to have high prolactin about 4 months ago.  My OB/Gyn prescribed a drug called "Parlodel" (generic name is Bromocriptine) for this.  I haven’t had any really bad side effects from this.  Only a bit of mild nausea occassionally a couple hours after taking it.  If you are prescribed this drug, just make sure that you take it with food, to minimize the stomach upset.  Also, I found that if I drink any alcoholic beverages around the time I take it, my nausea is worse. After 3 1/2 months, my Prolactin level was reduced from 30.8 to 14.7.  14.7 is still on the borderline/high side, so I am still taking this drug.  I haven’t gotten pregnant yet, unfortunately.

Hi Tereza, I also was diagnosed with high Prolactin levels.  I don’t remember exactly what the number was.  I did still ovulate but it was ‘inhibited’ by the high level.  But don’t be sad – you now know what the problem is and yes, they can ‘fix’ it.  I was put on Parlodel .5 mg. a day which was increased to 1 mg. a day after 2 months.  Side effects were minimal – nausea, dizziness – but I found that by taking it before I went to bed, it made the symptoms a lot less.  After about 3 months I felt an ovulation pain for the first time ever, which was good.  Then after being on Parlodel for 5.5 months I got pregnant.  Unfortunately this (twins) ended in a miscarriage at 10.5 weeks a week before Christmas.  But I’m now back on Parlodel so we’ll see what happens.   Hope this helps, Sally – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi all, Today I’m sad, now I know for facts that something is wrong.

Response:

I, too, had high prolactin levels, and, while not trying to get pregnant, had wildly varying periods and extreme mood swings with them.   As I was not willing to wean my toddler, my CNM suggested a book "Nutrition and Fertility Cycles" which recommended the vitamins "Optivite,"  Within one month, my cycle was regular, and I got pregnant while actively trying not to conceive. I don’t know what my initail levels were, though.

Yes, here’s an article that discusses a disorder that causes hyperprolactinaemia. If you have this disorder that it can be corrected without any meds. A gastroenterologist would be the specialist that you should see to get tested for this. Dig Dis 1994-May-Jun; Vol:12 (Part:3) Pg:186-90 Sher KS, et. al. Infertility, obstetric and gynaecological problems in coeliac sprue. There is now substantial evidence that coeliac sprue is associated with infertility both in men and women. In women it can also lead to delayed menarche, amenorrhoea, early menopause, recurrent abortions, and a reduced pregnancy rate. In men it can cause hypogonadism, immature secondary sex characteristics and reduce semen quality. The real mechanism by which coeliac sprue produces these changes is unclear, but factors such as malnutrition, iron, folate and zinc deficiencies have all been implicated. In addition in men gonadal dysfunction is believed to be due to reduced conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone caused by low levels of 5 alpha-reductase in coeliac sprue. This leads to derangement of the hypothalmic-pituitary axis. Hyperprolactinaemia is seen in 25% of coeliac patients, which causes impotence and loss of libido. Gluten withdrawal and correction of deficient dietary elements can led to a return of fertility both in men and women. [end of article] Gluten intolerance is *grossly* underdiagnosed here in the US and frequently overlooked by the medical profession. This is less so in Sweden. Here is how it is currently being diagnosed: Celiac disease can be screened for with a combination of antigliadin (IgA & IgG) and endomysial antibody testing of the blood. It is definitively tested for by a small bowel biopsy of the mucosa which can be obtained by an endoscopist in the distal duodenum. The patient must be consuming gluten at the time of the tests. However, many patients have high antigliadin antibodies without showing visible mucosal damage (or high endomysial antibodies). The medical community doesn’t consider them to be gluten intolerant, though their bodies are obviously reacting negatively to gliadin/gluten. 1100+ subscribers.
