Prolactinoma in Men treatment in Cancún

Prolactinoma in men is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that raises prolactin production. Although it is more often associated with women, it also affects men and can go unnoticed for a while.

Common symptoms: Decreased sexual desire, erection difficulties, fatigue and, in some cases, headaches or changes in vision.

Common causes: Abnormal growth of the prolactin-producing cells; often there is no identifiable trigger.

Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist studies the hormonal profile of a prolactinoma, and the general practitioner is usually the first point of contact to begin the evaluation. When symptoms such as persistent fatigue or changes in sexual function appear, it is advisable to discuss them with a professional.
