What are symptoms of high prolactin levels? is it dangerous if a women have high prolactin levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen breasts: Prolactin is secreted by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain and it tells the breasts to produce milk for the infant. If the woman is not just post-pregnant there are pituitary tumors which can cause prolactin secretion. These have to be worked up.
