A member asked:

Prolactin level is at 35.9. how severe is my condition? is this problem due to me being sexually active? does it affect my fertility?

Specializes in Phlebology

May be normal: An isolated mild increase in prolactin level can be from vigorous exercise, nipple stimulation, hypothyroidism, some medications. It wont likely effect your fertility . it should be followed by your doctor especially if symptoms develop.
