Prolactina. Entrevista con Hadhara Brunstein

Prolactin is a hormone produced primarily by the pituitary gland, whose main known function is the production of milk for breastfeeding. However, in these two years of the pandemic, at the Body Santé clinic, we've seen an increase in this hormone in women who are not pregnant. What causes this? Does it have other functions besides milk production? How can it be regulated? Our guest this week is Hadhara Brunstein, an endocrinologist specializing in female hormonal health and a doctor who is extremely committed to finding the root cause of increased prolactin, not just eliminating the symptom.
