What is Lactational amenorrhea is due to : and explain in detail?
Ans. is a i.e. Prolactin induced inhibition of GnRH In breast feeding females, prolactin levels are increased in response to suckling stimulus of breast feeding. Besides iProlactin, FSH concentrations are normal and LH concentrations are low. Despite the presence of gonadotropin the ovary during lactational hyperprolactinemia does not display follicular development and does not secrete estrogen. These observations suggest that high concentrations of prolactin can work at both central level (by inhibiting pulsatile secretion of GnRH) and peripheral level i.e. ovarian sites (by inhibiting synthesis of progesterone and by changing testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio i.e. increasing local anti estrogen concentrations) to produce lactational amenorrhea and anovulation. The principle of GnRH suppression by prolactin is reinforced by the demonstration that, treatment of amenorrheic, lactating women with pulsatile GnRH, fully restores pituitary secretion and normal ovarian cyclic activity.
