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.

My report shows 0.58 ng per ml prolactin. What does this mean? My prolactin was 57.47 in the last test. Is it raised or fallen? Please help me understand?

After a scan and blood tests, I have been diagnosed with PCOS. My results show AMH 7.5, prolactin 40, and vitamin D 13, while all other parameters are normal. My doctor has prescribed Myo inositol and Cabergoline 0.5?mg once a week for three weeks. I am confused about the Myo inositol dosage: should I take 2 tablets per day? I have a total of 60 Myo inositol tablets. Should I take both medications in the same month, or should I finish the Myo inositol first and then start Cabergoline? Please guide me.

I am taking Ayurvedic medicine for scanty periods, along with Esomac 40 (for gastric issues) and Naxdom 500. Today, I noticed mild nipple pain, and on pressing, there was a transparent milky type discharge from both breasts. Could this be a side effect of these medicines? I had a prolactin and thyroid test done on 25th June, and both were normal.
