A member asked:
I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma, found out that i'm pregnant. my prolactin is 60, is that normal now?

Pituitary adenoma: Pituitary adenomas occur more frequently as you get older. Prolactin levels also increase with pregnancy. Being pregnant and having a slightly elevated prolactin level isn't unusual. If you are pregnant but not symptomatic from the elevated prolactin, you can monitor the levels and evaluate the tumor if it increases. You can also take some medications to reduce the size if it become symptomatic.
