HI, I am a 46 years old male, lately i am noticing that my neck and chin are much bigger and my trachea cartilage is wider too. nothing asymetrical , no lumps on on side. also a year ago my prolactin level was 20 and 19 ( repeated in a differet lab ), i saw 2 endocrinologist a year ago for the prolactin at 20 , they said nothing to worry about at this level ; do you think i need to see a doctor now

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have already bin to physician and endocrinologist for which after their clinical examination they concluded it is normal i go along with their statements. As this is a growth hormone simulation and also it is controlled by the pituitary gland. Kindly wait for a while until you have any symptoms, that is what I feel your endocrinologist is also waiting for. If no symptoms arise this is a normal morphological processing of your genes.
