The high proclatin is dangerous for the health?
Mar 9, 2013

Dr. Fadi Abbas Oncology & Hematology
it can be due to a problem in the pituitary gland (prolactinoma).
it depends on how high it is, and what are the symptoms, outside pregnancy ?
usually , if it is high, a Brain MRI is done, to check if there an adenoma, etc
Gynecologists usually do the work up for such cases

Dr. Jinan Usta Family Medicine
A high prolactin may cause problems with the period ( irregular) and may be related to infertility. It can be caused by an oversecretion of the pituitary gland, or by a pituitary adenoma or even medications, Depending on the level of prolactin, we may request an imaging for the brain to make sure it is not an adenoma and the treatment is decided upon acordingly.
