Abstract
Background: Menstrual disorders are a common clinical problem due to multiple causes. Hyperprolactinemia, is disorders of hypothalamic-pituitary axis in young women, is usually associated with amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, anovulation, and ovulatory cycles with short or inadequate luteal phase, and galactorrhoea. Menstrual disorder affects physical and mental health of every woman.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to know hyperprolactinemia among the patients of menstrual disorders in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: Women with menstrual irregularities attending Gynae outpatient department and admitted initially checked clinically and their serum prolactin level were measured. Women in reproductive age group (15–45 years) with complain of abnormal uterine bleeding were included in the study. Menopausal women, women with organic diseases in uterus and cervix, and pregnant women were excluded from the study.

Results: Prolactin level is statistically significant with age (P = 0.011). The patients from age group of 20 to 35 years had high proportion (14.4%) of hyperprolactinemia followed by age group <20 years. (12.9%) and >35 years (12.9%). The women presenting with menstrual disorders enlisted in the study were evaluated on the basis of their sociodemographic parameters. About (15.5%) were below 20 years. About (27%) were above 35 years and majority of the women (57.5%) enrolled in the study were from age group of 2035 years of age. Serum prolactin level was observed in 15.4% in patients with frequent menses, 9.1% in patients with metrorrhagia and 7.7% in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding. That result was statistically significant with P = 0.039.

Conclusion: Serum prolactin level should be evaluated in every patient of menstrual disorders.

Key words: Hyperprolactinemia; Menstrual Disorder; Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
