Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excessive estrogen is not a clinical manifestation of hyperprolactinemia. Hyperprolactinemia typically leads to decreased levels of estrogen in females due to the inhibitory effect of prolactin on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which in turn reduces the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), leading to decreased estrogen production.
