Hyperprolactinemia Prolactinomas The Step by Step Diagnostic Approach You Must Know

Описание: Hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas are common yet frequently misdiagnosed causes of menstrual irregularities, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and pituitary tumors. In this video, we walk you through a clear, step-by-step diagnostic approach to evaluating elevated prolactin levels in clinical practice.
You’ll learn:
• What hyperprolactinemia really means (and when it’s misleading)
• How to differentiate prolactinomas from secondary causes of elevated prolactin
• The role of medications, hypothyroidism, renal disease, and the stalk effect
• How to avoid common diagnostic traps like the hook effect and macroprolactinemia
• When to order pituitary MRI and how to interpret prolactin levels clinically
• Red flags that require urgent referral
This video is perfect for medical students, residents, endocrinology trainees, and clinicians preparing for exams, ward rounds, or clinical practice.
🎯 Topics covered:
hyperprolactinemia, prolactinomas, pituitary adenoma, dopamine agonists, hook effect, macroprolactinemia, pituitary MRI, endocrine physiology
