A member asked:
I have elevated prolactin (57) if i start medication for it will my thyroid function more fully? i believe my thyroid is weak, dr says "in range".

Perhaps: Prolactin can have a disruptive effect on the hormones of the anterior pituitary (lh, fsh, gh, tsh). This can cause irregular periods. Although certainly not the most prominent effect of elevated prolactin, it could conveably make labs appear "in range" when they are not truly optimal.
