HOW TO REDUCE PROLACTIN LEVEL THROUGH AYURVEDA

WHAT IS PROLACTIN?

• It is a hormone produced by the Pituitary gland named because it plays important role in the process of Lactation.
• Other names- Lactotropin; PRL; Milk Hormone; Luteotropic hormone
• It is a protein best known for its role in enabling mammals, usually females, to produce milk. It is influential in over 300 separate processes in various vertebrates, including humans.
• If prolactin levels are higher than normal, it often means there is a type of tumor of the pituitary gland, known as a prolactinoma. This tumor makes the gland produce too much prolactin.
• Increase level of prolactin can cause the production of breast milk in men and in women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

HOW IS PROLACTIN CONTROLLED?

• The hormone called dopamine is one of the main regulators of the production of prolactin from the pituitary gland which is produced by the hypothalamus, the part of the brain directly above the pituitary gland.
• Dopamine hinders the production of prolactin, so the more the amount of dopamine lesser the release of prolactin. Prolactin itself enhances the secretion of dopamine, so this creates a negative feedback loop.
• The Oestrogen hormone is also a key regulator of prolactin and has been shown to increase the production and secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland.
• Some Studies have shown that during stages of the reproductive cycle where estrogen levels are at their highest level there is small increase in prolactin level in the blood circulation of women. 
• This is also noted during and after the pregnancy, since a higher level of circulating prolactin is needed to cause lactation to start.
• Apart from dopamine and oestrogen, a whole range of other hormones, like thyrotropin releasing hormone, oxytocin and diuretic hormone can also increase and decrease the amount of prolactin released in the body.
