A member asked:
How much it will cost for surgical removal adenoma from pituary gland to control prolactin hormones.is there any other alternatives other than surger?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Costs vary: But many prolactinomas respond to Dopamine agonist therapy that shrinks tumors and decreases prolactin production. See an endocrinologist before surgery!

OTHER OPTIONS: There are medical treatments. See an endrocrinologist he can prescribe either bromocriptine or cabergoline. If no response then surgery would be indicated.
