There are anabolic steroids that can raise prolactin levels in addition to elevating estradiol via aromatization (the process by which testosterone is changed into estradiol).
Getagens (progestins) are the name of these medications.
Trestolone, trenbolone, and nandrolone are the most widely used of them. Nandrolone is the compound that increases prolactin the most out of all.
Infertility, decreased libido and worsening erections, fluid retention, a decrease in secondary sexual characteristics, an increase in the female type of mammary glands (gynecomastia), and potential discharge from them are all significant negative effects of prolactin levels above reference values. High amounts of prolactin affect your lipid metabolism, raise the risk of obesity, and worsen your cholesterol levels. There is proof that the risk of type 2 diabetes is also rising. It causes
along-term decline in bone mineral density. Your bones deteriorate more quickly.
During periods of increased prolactin levels, many athletes report mood disorders such as lethargy, tension and anxiety, irritability, emotional instability, and even the emergence of psychosis. There are often reported cases of sadness, extreme exhaustion, memory loss, poor focus, and heart discomfort. Disturbances to the vegetation are also conceivable.
Medication should be taken to lower elevated prolactin. Here are several medications that lessen it: They are all fundamentally stimulants of dopamine receptors. Usually, medications like cabergoline and bromcreptine are utilised for these objectives.
While cabergoline is a more recent medicine with a longer duration, better tolerance, and the same efficacy as bromocriptine, it has a rougher impact and a greater number of serious adverse effects.
In comparison to cabergoline, bromocriptine should be taken once every seven days.
We will solely discuss the usage of cabergoline to reduce prolactin in this article.
Important information: You must wait 24 hours after finishing sex or masturbating before obtaining a prolactin blood test.
It is well-known that the amount of prolactin in a man's body increases significantly and stays high following an orgasm.
This medication is usually used 0.25 mg every seven days.
Most frequently, a blood test is conducted after the initial dose to compare how much prolactin will reduce, which is typically the minimum 0.25 mg each week. Prolactin often returns to normal reference values after a few weeks of admission, but you should always review the blood tests.
Prolactin levels must be brought down to normal. Prolactin can occasionally produce the aforementioned issues even when it is just slightly over the reference levels, but even when it is twice as high as the acceptable levels, an athlete may not always experience any detrimental consequences. It cannot be left raised because of this.
If you want to take progestogens, always keep an eye on your blood counts and keep a medication like cabergoline on hand. Additionally, bear in mind that prolactin levels can rise immediately even if there are no medications on your course that do so and even if you are not taking them.
Antidepressants, some peptides like GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, and ailments like pituitary adenoma can all cause prolactin to rise.
The amount of prolactin is crucial for how it acts in the body. Although the effects of prolactin on the male body have not yet been thoroughly investigated, it is already known that the immune system suffers when prolactin levels are too low.
