What are the differences in prolactin values in case of hyperprolactemia?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 05/08/2019

The normal rate of prolactin in women is around 20 µg/l and in cases of hyperprolactinemia the rate exceeds 30 µg/l. This increase causes an inhibition of the function of GnRh, also known as Gonadotropin-releasing hormone , thus blocking the production of LH and FSH.
