The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of galactorrhea in hyperprolactinemia. The study included fifty women with primary infertility attending the infertility clinic. Out of the 50 infertile women enrolled in the study, galactorrhea was present in 13(26%) females and 39.13% of the females with hyperprolactinemia had galactorrhea. Also, galactorrhea was seen in 33.33% of the females with hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia. It was observed that prevalence of galactorrhea was associated with the severity of hyperprolactinemia. All females with hyperprolactinemia had S.Prolactin ≥75ng/ml had galactorrhea. One female with normal S.Prolactin levels had galactorrhea. In conclusion the all patients of infertility should be investigated for S.Prolactin levels despite the absence of galactorrhea.
