Is It Normal To Have Elevated Prolactin Levels While Breast Feeding?
Question: If prolactin levels r bit high we do not get periods is it normal during breast feeding
Brief Answer:
Yes it is normal during breast feeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is normal to have high prolactin levels during lactation. This hormone is responsible for secretion of milk by the breast. The high levels do cause the absence of periods or delayed or irregular periods with a lesser then normal bleeding. This is normal. Your periods will return to normal once you stop the breast feeding completely. The serum prolactin levels will also reduce after stopping the breast feeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
