OT: What causes high levels of prolactin in men, and how can I lower mine?

But I just have a lot going on in my life, so the last thing I want to do is stress over something I dont have to.. I guess it's hard to know when to believe the medical majority or when to queston it.

Okay well you still haven't even taken your temperature yet.... I don't know how you can even know where you are at without doing that first..................................... check your waking temp and follow what that lady says...................... if your waking temp is in that range you are good......... that is a very good waking temp..................................... ok im done here

Your thyroid seems normal to me. Low TSH comes from the fact that you have enough FT3 floating around. Your FT3 is in the upper quadrant, which is the range most people dream to be in. If you think your scalp is still inflamed from prolactin, it could be due to other issues. Food sensitivity is the most obvious one. Iron overload may be another. There are thousands of reasons why inflammation is occurring, so it is a shot in the dark.

One thing to keep in mind about thyroid is reverse T3. If your rT3 is high, then you do have thyroid issue despite the fact that other numbers look good. High rT3 means there is a thyroid conversion issue going on, which is very difficult to treat.

Holy fucking shit... I just got my prolactin tested on friday... it is 7.4.. down from 13.0 like 3 weeks ago.... fuckkkkkkkkk yes... god bless danny roddy and ray peat

My temp is consistently above 98.4, averages around 98.6-8.

Anyways, maybe I ll get my reverse t3 done down the line.

Now I gotta figure out whats wrong with my prolactin.. I heard ginkgo lowers prolactin so Im currently taking 120mg/day.

Maybe the high reading was from a porn session the previous or night before previous lol.. (cant remember exactly )

I guess Ill get retested soon to see where Im at.

Dostinex - a pharmaceutical drug

should be considered

Yes, it sounds insane, a natural forum looking into pharmaceuticals, but the more I read about it, the more open I become to big pharma.

They aren't all bad. I already take aspirin, cyproheptadine.

It depends on how far you are willing to experiment.

I bought my prolactin down from around 10-12 to around 3-5 doing all ray peats methods....

What's your reasoning behind taking aspirin? Inhibiting TRPV1 pathway? Aspirin can slow down phase II detox significantly, both glucuronidation and sulfation pathways. I see that you often promote taking sulfur/MSM, which enhance sulfation. So taking aspirin is actually the opposite of what you are supplementing, which seems counterintuitive to me.

As far as prolactin level goes, taking L-tyrosine is a surefire way along with increasing progesterone. However, it's important to remember that low progesterone/high estrogen does not necessarily mean high prolactin level. My lab results clearly showed this "unintuitive" scenario. Also, fapping and prolonged intense exercise results in prolactin surge, so avoiding them is a good way to regulate prolactin level.

I gave up MSM ages ago

If MSM doesn't work for you, and it won't work for everyone, but it will for some,

taurine can be used instead, it has sulfur bearing qualities

You still have not answered my question about your reasoning behind using aspirin. Taurine also works via sulfation and acylation in phase 2 detox of liver. Aspirin has the opposite effect of taurine. What you are suggesting makes no logical sense from liver health perspective.

To why I am taking aspirin ?

I take it infrequently,

If it does interfere with my other supplements, I will stop
