RESUMO
The article is devoted to the features of the clinical picture of hyperprolactinemia, which can be partially determined by both gender and age of patients. Along with the well-known "classic" manifestations of hyperprolactinemiÑ syndrome, such as clinical signs of hypogonadism and mechanical pressure of the pituitary tumor on adjacent anatomical structures, there are others that are poorly known to a wide range of practicing physicians. Less frequent manifestations of hyperprolactinemia include the development of hypopituitarism, osteoporosis or osteopenia, alopecia. The analysis of literature data is illustrated with clinical examples from our own practice. It is noted that the pronounced heterogeneity of the clinical manifestations of hyperprolactinemia determines the need to develop continuity and consistency between doctors of different specialties for timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of this pathology.
