Do High Levels Of Prolactin Shrink The Ovaries?

The normal ovarian volume at your age should be 6-7 ml.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
High prolactin levels can affect ovarian reserve. It decreases gonadotrophic hormones and thus affects fertility.
In my opinion, hyperprolactinemia might have caused shrinkage of ovaries in your case because you had raised prolactin chronically.
The normal ovarian volume at your age should be 6-7 ml.
I would advise you to go for thyroid examination. This can also contribute to hyperprolactinemia.
Discuss with your doctor about reducing the dose of psychotropic medications to minimum possible dose.
Bromocriptinne or cabergoline (prescription drug) will also help in treatment of raised prolactin.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
