(11% in men and 22% in women, p=0.05). there was no correlation between the serum tsh and prolactin level. clinical symptom prevalence was not different between patients with and without hyperprolactinemia. conclusion: this study showed that prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in subclinical hypothyroidism is notable and this disorder is more common in female subclinical hypothyroidism than the men.
