Abstract

Five women after precocious menopause and 1 patient with primary ovarian failure showed a simultaneous elevation of plasma gonadotropin and prolactin. The hypersecretion of plasma prolactin was still present 6 months after ovarian failure. After 12-18 months of observation while FSH and LH concentration remained elevated, prolactin concentrations normalized in 5 women and decreased in 1.
