Recently, I got a full body checkup done. I discovered that my prolactin level is 65, which is above the normal range for a non pregnant woman. Is this alarming? What could be the possible reasons for this?

A prolactin level of 65 is above the normal range, but its not always a cause for concern. It can rise due to stress, sleep disturbance, certain medications, or hormonal shifts. Sometimes thyroid issues or a small hormonal gland change could be the reason. Repeating the prolactin test and checking your thyroid levels is a good next step.

Question

I was diagnosed with PID in a sonography test two weeks ago. Now, I have noticed some white discharge coming from my breast. What does this mean? The sonography was done two days after my period ended.
