Prolactin plays a regulatory role in male reproductive physiology. Hyperprolactinemia can suppress gonadotropin secretion, leading to reduced testosterone levels, infertility, and erotic sexual dysfunction.
Causes include pituitary adenomas, medication effects, and systemic illness. Symptoms are often subtle and may be overlooked without targeted evaluation.
Recognition and management of prolactin disorders are essential components of comprehensive andrological assessment.
