How Can Elevated Prolactin Levels Be Treated?
Hi. I am 23 years old I have been diagnosed with high prolactin levels this month and the doctor prescribed a birth control pills for me to take it for 3 months to regularize prolactin . Then I will have to redo the blood test to see if the hormone has decreased. My question is am i going through the right process? And if you have any advice for me ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bromocriptine and Cabergoline are the generally used drugs for correcting levels of prolactin.
We should find the reason behind high prolactin levels. Sometimes a small brain tumor can cause high prolactin level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
