A member asked:
What does it mean if my pituitary is hypersecreting prolactin due to a head injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Most men diagnosed with a prolactinoma have some degree of loss of sex hormone production. They may also have visual loss and/or headache. A minority of patients with large tumors may have bleeding into the tumor (pituitary apoplexy) causing relatively sudden onset of headache, visual loss, double vision, and/or pituitary failure.
