Hyperprolactinemia is a hypothalamic-pituitary condition of elevated serum prolactin in non-pregnant women. Hyperprolactinemia may affect menstrual cycle and ovulation. It may also cause infertility and loss of libido. On occasions hyperprolactinemia may be caused by a small tumor in the pituitary and may damage the surrounding organs such as the optic nerves. Therefore, the timely diagnosis and treatment of hyperprolactinemia is quite important. Our practice collaborates with Medical Endocrinology Pituitary Program and Neurosurgery together offering state-of-the-art testing and treatments for hyperprolactinemia.
