Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
If the prolactin level in the blood is too high, it is called hyperprolactinemia. These people often have symptoms such as breast tenderness, galactorrhea, and infrequent menstruation, or even amenorrhea. Therefore, it is sometimes also referred to as galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome. In patients with hyperprolactinemia, about 1/4 are caused by pituitary tumors.
