Female 27y.o.prolactin 43 since november.repeated every 3months always 40-45.doc said to monitor but not do something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolactin levels: Serum prolactin is only released by inhibition of the "prolactin inhibition hormone", for lactation, and in some instances by a pituitary tumor which prevents (secondary to pressure caused by the tumor) the inhibition factor from being produced, allowing increased prolactin. The general rule is to repeat testing unless the prolactin level exceeds 100. In that case, surgery may be indicated.
