Prolactinomas also are treated with
surgery or radiotherapy, depending on the
circumstances

Prolatinoma Posted: 12-24-03 10:52am
Hi, I have been diagnosed with a tumor on
my pituitary gland and this was found
because I had a prolatin level of over
600. It now is under control with
dostinex medication and the tumor has
shrunk down to the size of a pinky thumb
nail. My concern is my husband and I are
thinking of having children and my worry
is taking the medication during pregnancy
because of possiblity of harming the baby
and or me. The prolactin level will
become elevated when pregnancy occurs
because that is what it does and the
medication is needed to keep in down.
Also, I will not be able to breast feed
because of the medication. My doctor says
he has no question that it would be
allright. I on the other hand and my
husband are still worried. Having to take
this medication for the rest of my life is
very scary. I am interested in any
feedback anyone can give me. Thank you
very much.
Signed,
worried possible mother to be
