The Relationship Between Hyperprolactinaemia and Breastfeeding

The Relationship Between Hyperprolactinaemia and Breastfeeding

In my latest study, I delved into the fascinating connection between hyperprolactinaemia and breastfeeding. Hyperprolactinaemia is a condition where a person has excessive levels of prolactin, the hormone that stimulates breast milk production. Interestingly, this condition has a significant impact on breastfeeding, especially since it can cause a surplus of breast milk, but it can also lead to difficulties. Some women may experience challenges like painful breastfeeding or even insufficient milk supply due to underlying issues associated with hyperprolactinaemia. It's a complex relationship that highlights the delicate hormonal balance involved in breastfeeding.
