Understanding Hyperprolactinemia in Men

While high levels of prolactin, a condition known as hyperprolactinemia, are often associated with women's health, it can also affect men in significant ways.  

A notable side effect is erectile dysfunction, which can occur even when testosterone levels are within a normal range. The exact mechanism behind this is not yet fully understood. 

The good news is that when hyperprolactinemia is corrected, the associated erectile dysfunction also resolves. 

It's important to note that other symptoms sometimes linked to high prolactin, such as gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) and galactorrhea (nipple discharge), are rare in men.
