A member asked:
Due to a recent head injury, a patient is told that his pituitary is hypersecreting prolactin. is there need for concern about this young man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head injury: If the only finding is high prolactin that usually resolves and can be followed with blood levels. This will likely not be of concern but does need to be monitored.
