title: [Correlations between hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea].
abstract: In a prospective study performed between January, 1989 to August, 1988, we evaluated the association between hyperprolactinemia and its clinical features. Of the 58 subjects included: 23 had hyperprolactinemia and 35 were controls. The most frequent clinical manifestations in hyperprolactinemic patients were galactorrhea (43.4%) and amenorrhea (17.3%) amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome was found in only 8.6% cases with hyperprolactinemia. We found a statistically significant correlation (R = 0.66, p less than 0.01) between serum prolactin levels and clinical symptoms in hyperprolactinemic patients.
