Prolactin-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma
The prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma, also known as prolactinoma, is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that produces an excess of the hormone prolactin.
How it can manifest: In women it can cause menstrual cycle disturbances or milk secretion outside of pregnancy, and in men changes in sexual desire; in both cases headache or vision disturbances may occur.
Why evaluate it: Identifying the cause of the hormonal excess makes it possible to guide the appropriate study and follow-up.
Who treats it? The endocrinologist is the specialist who evaluates this condition, with support from other areas depending on the structures affected. With persistent hormonal symptoms or changes in vision, the recommended course is to discuss it with a professional.
