title: [Does prolactin have a role in the physiopathology of luteal insufficiency?].
abstract: A TRH-test was performed in 305 normoprolactinemic patients with gynecological disorders in order to appreciate the possible relationship between luteal defect, anovulation, galactorrhea and prolactin. The basal prolactin mean values of each group (normal cycle, pure luteal defect, luteal defect with persistent estrogenic influence, anovulation: with or without galactorrhea) were not different. However, some patients with luteal defect with persistent estrogenic influence and galactorrhea had an exaggerated response to TRH, and women with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea had a low one. Unapparent hyperprolactinemia appears infrequent in normoprolactinemic patients.
