High Prolactin

Hello, I am grateful for the resource that is provided here on this forum. I will try to be short:

For a few years now, I have been dealing with some elevated prolactin. I am on Testosterone Cypionate .5ml every 5 days. I can get into somewhat detailed history of all of past bloodwork but was wondering if anyone had input on if these levels below would be a concern? About 1.5 years ago I did have an MRI which they thought showed a pituitary tumor but after going to an amazing endocrinologist and brain surgeon at the Univ of Michigan, they said it was a false positive and no tumor. Attachment 169550

I am at a loss what could be the cause of this, if it should be a concern, etc. After doing some in depth searching a did see some small references to adderall and prolactin. Safe to say my adderall use in the past has been elevated. Again, any input would be appreciated.

What is your E2 at? That can make someone a little more sensitive to prolactins side effects if prolactin is high.

I am at a loss to why prolactin is high. I'll defer that part to some more knowledgeable members.

Thank you for the quick reply. Below is my history of E2 - all seems good there.Attachment 169552

It is indeed elevated but not so high to think of a pituitary tumour. I'm in the same boat, I developed "idiopathic" hyperprolactinemia with levels akin to yours and I got a small adenoma too, though in my case that was checked before high prolactin appeared.

Imo it's not a major need of concern, etiology could be from psychiatric disease, drug use (antypsychotics, antidepressants, GI prokinetics, rec drugs, etc), hypothyroidism...

What about your Kratom? Ever though of it?
