i've been diagnosed with pituitary microadenoma and been taking parlodel for the past 5 years. yet, my prolactin level is not improving, it's way beyond normal level. latest result was 269. since my oral medication is not responsive, is surgery an option? and will i be normal again?

Mine was last at 3000 but has come back down to normal at 260.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we can only provide you information on this site. The information I found for you indicates that you must get a specialists opinion regarding your options as every case is different. John Hopkins is a leader in pituitary issues and here is the link for additional information http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/specialty_areas/pituitary_center/conditions/hyperprolactinemia.html.
I hope this helps. If you cannot find answers from your treating physician, perhaps a second opinion would be beneficial. Can you keep us posted?
