Hi there I have had a blood test which has shown high pro lactin. I had the test because my periods have been very light and irregular and my boyfriend and I have not been using protection for the last two years and I m still not pregnant. I m tired and very thirsty all the time and for about a week a month I feel dreadful with blocked sinuses and puffy eyes and a headache. I m having another blood test today to see if my levels are still high. What can this mean?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Increased prolactin levels can be seen in conditions like Polycystic ovary disease, Chronic renal failure, increased stress, Hypothyroidism and prolactin secreting pituitary tumors. It can cause infertility and irregular and decreased menstrual flow. In view of head aches and increased thirst I will recommend you to do a CAT scan brain to rule out pituitary adenoid. Also do a thyroid function test and renal function test. Hope this helped, Take care.
