A member asked:
Does prolactinoma condition inhibit oxytocin production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually does not: Prolactinoma from a pituitary tumor affects the anterior pituitary. The posterior pituitary is usually not affected-this is where the cells for oxytocin reside. The excess prolactin secretion does not usually impact the oxytocin production.
