My prolactinoma went undiagnosed until I was 25. The doctors told me it likely started growing when I was 13. My pituitary was non-functioning for more than 10 years. I lost vision, body hair, I had throbbing pain going down the side of my head, i was jaundice, and my voice never dropped during puberty. Further, I lost all interest sexually in anyone at 15. After surgery they put me on testosterone, prednisone, and a thyroid med. I've been taking all of them for over 35 years. I've been blessed with a long career and a fairly normal life.

During our internship, many women presenting with infertility who also suffered from hypothyroidism, had elevated levels of prolactin. Our teacher that time, told us that this could be due to the stimulatory effect of low serum T3, T4, that augmented sectetion of TSH(from pituitary) and TRH (from hypothalamus). TRH, in it's bid to increase TSH and the overall thyroid status, also increased prolactin release that inhibited, release of FSH and LH.

I had gynecomastia, before the surgery they found elevated levels of prolactin and of course, prolactinoma. I always wondered why I was never super interested in girls, I've had girlfriends/sex partners before. but I was never really into them. at least now I know. Next week, I'll be seeing an endocrinologist so that I can sort myself out and start a family😇, Oh and I'm a 33 year old Male by the way. To all who suffers from what we suffer from, let's hope and pray, but most important of all, let's all take action!

@rasberryfields2132 8 месяцев назад

I went totally blind in my left eye and partially un the right wye before my prolactaninoma was found. I had broken both feet, both wrists, and my humerus also. By the time it was found, it was a macronoma. Cabergoline successfully shrank it and my vision miraculously came back. Take action before this happens to you. Several doctors missed mine. An opthomologist found it. 😢😊

At the time of marriage I took some performance enhancing drugs to increase my testesterone and sperm count and erection and I have 2 kids all these times doctors were not able to diagnose my case 2 weeks back I saw an andrologists and he ask for my blood test and he told my prolactin level 25 ngl is too much and gave some medication. Could I recover and go back to normal erection and sex life after taking this medication as I had been suffering from this condition for the last 13 years from the age of 24 to current age 37.
