question from a user
What course would you recommend if Total T is at 282 but prolactin is in the 1150 range?
AlphaMD's Answer
That prolactin level is more than just a little high. Low T in the setting of high prolactin raises concern for a prolactinoma (a usually benign neoplasm of the pituitary gland). Typically an MRI would be necessary to evaluate this potential diagnosis further. Follow-up with your doctor for further evaluation.
