Dr. Guan Yanlei
Elevated pituitary prolactin levels are best treated with medications, surgery, or other methods. Increased prolactin is often caused by diseases of endocrine organs, such as hypothyroidism. Under a doctor's guidance, patients can take levothyroxine sodium tablets, which may also help reduce prolactin levels after treatment. If there are obvious symptoms, such as vision loss, a surgical evaluation is necessary. If adhesions around the optic nerve are found, surgery must be performed.
