Perhaps

Perhaps a link to galactorrhea (production of breast milk outside pregnancy or normal breast feeding) would be appropriate under symptoms? -- Lara --

Sleep?

"Physiological causes (i.e. as result of normal body functioning): pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, sleep."

Too much sleep? Too little sleep? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.182.231 (talk) 07:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Minoxidil

I found the paragraph on Minoxidil to be ill-placed, I believe that it is too prominent and gives reader an exaggerated impression of danger. I don't necessarily thinks that it should be removed but definitely be relocated to a less prominent location. The work cited is still very preliminary, and Minoxidil is a drug which is commonly used and there is not reason to freak out its users.--Bastilleday uky (talk) 17:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

units?

My wife's blood work reported her prolactin level in mg/ml. If someone could say how this relates to the mIU/L used here, I would appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.240.244.198 (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

SSRI's and prolactine level

Sollip Kim, and Young-Min Park, conclude the following in an article in Plos One, published 2 Dec. 2013: "These findings suggest that SSRI therapy can induce hyperprolactinemia in patients with MDD."

Normal processes

Should there be a statement on whether hyperprolactinaemia can occur in the presence of adequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation? E. Nguyen, UCSF Pharm.D. 23 (talk) 14:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Foundations II 2021 Group Hyperprolactinaemia Proposed Edits

Some improvements our group intend on making for this article include fixing language and grammar, adding more citations/secondary sources, as well as implement aforementioned suggestions on the talk page. E. Nguyen, Future UCSF Pharm.D (talk) 21:49, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Foundations II 2021 Peer Review

1. The group's edits did substantially improve the article according to the guiding framework. The group added useful information to make the article more complete. The introduction of the topic was easy to follow and gave a nice overview about the topic. Difficult phrases or words in the article were linked which was very useful for easier access of looking them up. This is very helpful when reading wikipedia articles. A suggestion would be in the Signs and Symptoms section (for women) to make it easier to read and understand. This is a complex topic and the average person might not understand all the medical terminology used without looking up many of the words. The submission does reflect a neutral point of view and did not take a side. In the article the word patient was used a few times, changing the word patients to people would help improve the neutrality of the article. The group has achieved its overall goal of improving the article by adding important information with reliable sources to back them. A couple of the references used were from clinical studies however these might have been used as there might not be many systematic reviews or other review journal to defend the topic.

2. The group's edits have substantially improve the article as described in the Wikipedia guiding framework and has achieved its overall goals for improvements. The group utilized secondary sources and used lay language to explain the topic. The summary/introduction contains a lot of details regarding the topic and is written in a concise manner. The entire article is broken down into different sections which is easy for readers to follow. A table is also included for better organization and visualization. Each paragraph is supported by at least one citation, and all the citations added by this group are verifiable secondary sources, such as systematic reviews, meta analysis, and books. Although not all sources are freely available to the public, most journals/papers have abstracts that are accessible to the public without subscription.

3. Content added to the Hyperprolactinaemia article was neutral and well researched. Most factual information had necessary citations. Some discrepancies include: under "Signs and Symptoms" paragraph 2, aside from the first and last sentences, nothing else in the paragraph contains citations about the potential asymptomatic signs men with Hyperprolactinaemia may experience; under "Causes" and "Specific diseases", there are no citations for the first paragraph detailing prolactinomas or PCOS. Generally, the article read well, which addresses the group's goal of fixing language and grammar. Most factual information was cited. The edits formatted were consistent with Wikipedia's manual of style. Content was neutral, unbiased, and did not seem to sway the reader in any way. There are some inconsistencies within formatting of references. For references 4, 5, 6, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 38, 40, 42, 43, 45, and 46, the dates of the sources either contain month and year or day, month, and year - citations should only contain publishing year for each source. Other than that the formatting of this article is sufficient. Nicolestruong (talk) 21:46, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

4. The group's edits improved the article and used the Wikipedia guiding framework. The group achieved the overall goal, adding several citations and expanded the sections already present. They also added numerical values, such as blood serum prolactin levels and size of tumors in the pituitary relevant as cause for hyperprolactinaemia. I do believe the article uses enough words to support diversity, equity, and inclusion. I didn't find words such a "patient;" instead, they use "people", "women" or "men". I also think the editors were not trying to attribute a single sign and symptom as the main point in the article or attributing it to only women or men. For example, they added that hyperprolactinemia causes decreased libido and sexual dysfunction in both women and men to a different degree, but the wording was explanatory, not persuassive.

Reference Editing

1) ESabour reviewed all citations for correct format according to Manual of Style. 6 citations were observed that needed edits, so appropriate dates were placed (only year and not month, date, and year). ESabour (talk) 20:44, 4 August 2021 (UTC)ESabour

2)ESabour reviewed and no predatory sources were observed within the list of references, so no changes made ESabour (talk) 20:45, 4 August 2021 (UTC)ESabour

3) E Chu, PharmD 2023 reviewed all citations for duplicate references and performed the following

• duplicate references 1, 8 and 40 consolidated to refer to reference 1
• duplicate references 2 and 9 consolidated to refer to reference 2
• duplicate references 3 and 16 consolidated to refer to reference 3
• duplicate references 4, 17 and 32 consolidated to refer to reference 4
• duplicate references 14, 26 and 30 consolidated to refer to reference 14
• duplicate references 16 and 31 consolidated to refer to reference 16
