Hyperprolactinemia is the common clinical syndrome; the causes of hyperprolactinemia are physiological, pharmacological, and pathological, in which prolactinoma is the most common cause. In drug therapy, dopamine agonists are the first choice, but there are 10%–20% of the patients who are resistant to drug therapy. This paper mainly summarized the causes, treatments, mechanisms of drug resistance, treatment during pregnancy, and progresses in the treatment of prolactinoma, so as to provide some theoretical basis to further research of hyperprolactinemia.
