A member asked:
Is galactorrhea related to infertility? what are tests for pituitary tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: If galactorrhea is related to elevated prolactin levels, that often affects your periods and your hormone production and can lead to infertility. Sometimes testing is needed for a pituitary tumor, and that usually involved an MRI of the pituitary.
