Prolactinoma in Women
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.
