Why checking prl?: A prolactin level of 50 isn't usually high enough to consider a prolactinoma in most. There are other more common reasons to see elevations like this in kids, especially if taking certain psychiatric medication. Why are levels being followed? What other symptoms are there?

I am on Testosterone Replacement Therapy and have gone for necessary bloodwork. I have noticed that my Prolactin levels are high - worried about Prolactima and a potential tumor on the Pituitary. I would need an MRI to confirm - how can I do this? KH
