A member asked:
If you have high level of prolactin can it go untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: In general a high prolactin does not need to be treated in itself. Your doctor may want to rule out a prolactin secreting tumor. Also , a chronically elevated prolactin may stop your cycles, and the lack of estrogen from this may increase your risk of osteoporosis.
