Prolactinoma in Women
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When menstrual disturbances, milky discharge from the breasts without pregnancy, or difficulties conceiving appear, it is worth investigating the cause; one possibility is prolactinoma in women. It is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that produces an excess of prolactin, the hormone linked to lactation.
Common symptoms:
- Irregular or absent periods
- Breast discharge outside of breastfeeding
- Headaches or vision changes in advanced cases
Which specialist treats it? The hormonal evaluation falls to the endocrinologist, while the general practitioner can guide the initial workup.
Final recommendation: These symptoms have multiple causes, so the sensible thing is to go in for a consultation so that a professional can determine their origin.
