Hello dear
I understand your concern
High prolactin cause menstrual irregularity and infertility problem.
High prolactin could be due to PCOS, hypothyroidism, liver and kidney disease.
I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo other reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study, LFT, KFT.
Investigations should be correlated with symptoms.
You can ask your doctor to take cabergolin to reduce prolactin level
Other specific treatment depend on specific cause and treatment.
Also make sure that semen analysis of partner is normal
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
