Pregnancy and lactation are the commonest causes of hyperprolactinemia. Macroprolactin (larger molecular forms of PRL), which has no biological activity or clinical significance, can be detected in some assays [2]. Stress, excessive exercise and convulsions can also result in hyperprolactinemia, as can chest wall/nipple stimulation, even in nonlactating women.
