I think its an excess of any 1 hormone compared to other interacting hormones. Cell growth is caused indiscriminately among both healthy or nonhealthy tissue by an extreme imbalance of human hormones (and refined foods). Estrogen without progesterone can cause this problem, or progesterone without estrogen. An imbalance is apparent if there are irregular periods, or other symptoms. When both are cycled and are in proper proportion, cancer risks are lowered (as with bcp). It seems that excess prolactin is no different than what an excess in estrogen does. I believe in using herbs that are hormonal but also have anti-cancer properties, these restrict cancer cells and stimulate healthy cells. Fenugreek is such an herb that inhibits breast cancer.
There is also green tea, or ginger, which both reduce cancer risk, but they are also counter productive to NBE. I wonder if cycling these can have use.
Hyperprolactinemia is normal during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin levels) (linked from Medline plus search). http://www.reproductivefacts.org/ looks like a good resource.
I previously oversimplified prolactin and estrogen's effects on each other. Prolactin reduces FSH and LH. Both FSH and LH increase estrogen. But (contrary to what I thought) a current version of Britannica says estrogen increases prolactin. Britannica: Regulation of prolactin secretion <--- this goes over much of what I wrote in the past. (I know its frustrating)
Going back to the links:
Risk of Breast Cancer due to Hyperprolactinemia caused by Antipsychotics (Neuroleptics) can be related to how mood influences prolactin production, and there are herbs that increase prolactin through this route. There are also commercials that are for suing by people who took those medicines and have gynecomastia. (moved to new post)
