My recent blood report shows my prolactin level is 45, and my doctor said this is causing my irregular periods. Currently, I have been prescribed tablets to regulate my periods for 3 months. Could you please advise what steps I should take to normalize my prolactin levels?

A prolactin level of 45 ng per mL is mildly elevated. If periods are irregular and this persists, it could be due to stress, thyroid dysfunction, or a small pituitary issue. Continue the tablets as advised. If symptoms persist, follow up testing such as a thyroid panel or MRI of the brain (to check pituitary) may be needed.

For the last four days, she has been taking Thyroxin 25. After starting the medicine, her whole body seems swollen and she feels sleepy throughout the day. She is 10 weeks pregnant. What should I do? Should I stop the thyroid medicine?

I am 29 years old and 15 weeks pregnant now. I am using 137.5 mg Eltroxin tablet from one month. Today I got results of TSH 0.3, Total T4 19.9 and Total T3 1.96. Why does my total T4 level show high? Is there any problem for my pregnancy and my baby?
