Reproductive physiology is one of the important problems at present. Infertile married couples in Russia, according to sample data, as well as in other regions of the world, make up about 14% of practically healthy couples of childbearing age. One of the main causes of this infertility is idiopathic hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin is a marker of functional disorders of reproductive function. Excessive secretion of prolactin leads to disruption of menstrual and generative function in more
than 20-30% of cases [2]. The leading role in the modern treatment of reproductive system disorders is played by hormone replacement therapy. It is important to take into account the fact that the administration of the hormone suppresses the residual endogenous secretion of the body, therefore, abrupt withdrawal, as well as prolonged intake of hormones, completely deprives the body of this hormone. Priority in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia (HPLC) of non-neoplastic genesis are drugs that block the synthesis, secretion or peripheral action of hormones –
antihormones that block the binding of a hormone to the receptor, taking its place. Taking
antihormones for therapeutic purposes also has various side effects.
