My wife isn't pregnant but her prolactin levels are high around 230. I'm really worried because I've heard high prolactin could mean a brain tumor. Does she need surgery or any specific treatment? What could be causing this?

I'm dealing with some issues related to pcos, like acne on my face, irregular periods, and hair growth on various parts of my body and face. I did an ultrasound, and it showed a cyst on my ovary. The doctor prescribed me some pills which worked when I took them, but once I stopped, all these problems came back. I'm wondering why this happens and what I can do about it? What other treatment options are there, or do I need to continue with the pills indefinitely?
