Prolactin of 40 ng/mL is mildly elevated. Rule out stress, thyroid dysfunction, or pituitary microadenoma. Treatment includes low dose cabergoline or bromocriptine UNDER EXPERT CONSULTAYION if periods are irregular or trying to conceive. Thyroid function must be checked.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Prolactin Test Test

A female patient aged 22 years is in the second trimester and her T3 is 1.90 and T4 is 16. I have attached the lab report also. What is the treatment and is Thyronorm 25 mcg okay or should the dose be increased? Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.
