A member asked:
How common is it to have pcos & a prolactinoma at the same time? is there a link between the two & does pcos increase my chance of getting adenomas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Separate disorders: Prolactinomas must be ruled out before making the diagnosis of PCOS. PCOS can increase the levels of circulating Estrogen. Estrogen can stimulate Prolactin secretion. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/451707
