Study Notes
Hyperprolactinaemia Treatment
- Dopamine agonists can restore ovulation and menstruation in women with hyperprolactinaemia not caused by pituitary adenoma.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
- Combination therapy: 0.625-1.25 mg conjugated estrogens (days 1-25) + 5-10 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (days 16-25) is a suitable alternative.
Reproductive History
- Important components include: number of pregnancies, lactation intervals, pregnancy losses or terminations, infertility treatment, and uterine instrumentation (e.g., dilatation and curettage).
Visual Field Assessment
- Visual fields should be assessed to detect potential changes in peripheral vision, which could indicate a pituitary tumor compressing the optic chiasm.
Progesterone Response
- A woman typically responds to progesterone within 2-7 days of the last dose, indicating functional endometrium and estrogen production.
