Can mild increase in prolactin cause tender breast especially before menstruation? can it cause obesity?

Prolactin: The mild increase can cause the breast tenderness and may cause a discharge. However, it isn't a cause of the obesity. Birth control pills, or other medications may also cause mild elevation in prolactin levels.
