Prolactinoma

• December 21, 2020

Prolactinoma is a cancer-free pituitary gland tumour. This tumour causes the pituitary to produce much more of a hormone called prolactin. The main effect of prolactinoma is decreased levels of some sex hormones female oestrogen and male testosterone. Although prolactinoma is not life-threatening, it may trigger eyesight challenges, fertility problems, and other issues. Prolactinoma is the most prevalent type of hormone-producing tumour that may create in your pituitary gland. Healthcare professionals can often treat prolactinoma with drugs to restore the level of prolactin to normal. Surgeries to remove the pituitary tumor may also be an ideal solution.
