Hyperprolactinemic SAHA syndrome

Hyperprolactinemic SAHA syndrome (pronounced: hi-per-pro-lactin-emic sa-ha syndrome) is a rare medical condition characterized by the presence of hyperprolactinemia, seborrhea, acne, hirsutism, and alopecia (SAHA).

Etymology

The term "Hyperprolactinemic SAHA syndrome" is derived from the combination of the terms "hyperprolactinemia" and "SAHA". "Hyperprolactinemia" refers to the condition of having abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood, while "SAHA" is an acronym for the symptoms of the syndrome: seborrhea, acne, hirsutism, and alopecia.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

The symptoms of Hyperprolactinemic SAHA syndrome include the presence of seborrhea, acne, hirsutism, and alopecia. These symptoms are often accompanied by menstrual irregularities in women and decreased libido in men. Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of clinical examination and laboratory testing, including measurement of serum prolactin levels.

Treatment

Treatment for Hyperprolactinemic SAHA syndrome typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the hyperprolactinemia, such as a pituitary adenoma, as well as managing the individual symptoms of the syndrome. This may include the use of dopamine agonists to reduce prolactin levels, as well as topical treatments and hormonal therapies for the skin and hair symptoms.
