A member asked:

How does an elevated prolactin level effect your thyroid production? dr says my thyroid is in range. my prolactin is 47-57. i just started cabergoline

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It doesn't: A high prolactin (prl) does not affect the thyroid but a high TSH or thyroid level can be a cause of high prl. If thyroid was in range then there is some other cause of high prl.
