Does homeopathic treatment help breast tenderness and irregular periods linked to high prolactin?
In this one young woman with high prolactin levels and irregular painful periods, homeopathic treatment over three months reduced breast tenderness, regularized her periods, and improved her energy. We cannot say whether this would help other women or what factors contributed to the improvement.
What they did
This is a case report of one 27-year-old woman who had high prolactin levels, irregular and painful periods, breast tenderness with lumps, acne, and weight gain over two years. She received individualized homeopathic treatment.
What they found
Over three months of homeopathic treatment, her menstrual cycles became regular, her breast tenderness and lumps decreased, her skin improved, and her energy levels improved.
What it means for you
This case suggests homeopathic treatment may help some women with high prolactin and period-related breast pain, but this is one woman's experience and other changes in her life during those three months may have contributed to the improvement.

Original abstract
A 27-year-old postgraduate student with a part-time job presented with irregular and painful menses, dullness, and weight gain for two years. Laboratory findings confirmed elevated serum prolactin (54.82 ng/mL), indicative of hyperprolactinemia. Associated complaints included acne, dandruff, premenstrual breast tenderness with nodular lumps, and food cravings at midnight. A holistic homeopathic approach targeting hormonal and emotional balance was undertaken. Over three months, the patient showed marked improvement — regularized menstrual cycles, reduction in breast tenderness and nodularity, improved skin condition, and normalization of energy levels — indicating the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment.
