A member asked:

What are options for prolactin producing adenomas with reocurring symptoms after surgery and radiation are preformed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medical treatment: Typically, prolactin producing adenomas, or prolactinomas, can be effectively treated with a class of medications called Dopamine agonists, such as bromocriptine. Your endocrinologist should be able to prescribe these medications, if appropriate.
