List of 14 Prolactinoma Symptoms

Note that Prolactinoma symptoms usually refers to various medical symptoms known to a patient, but the phrase Prolactinoma signs may often refer to those signs that are only noticable by a doctor.

Signs or Symptoms of Prolactinoma:

In women, high blood levels of prolactin often cause infertility and changes in menstruation. In some women, periods may disappear altogether. In others, periods may become irregular or menstrual flow may change. Women who are not pregnant or nursing may begin producing breast milk. Some women may experience a loss of libido (interest in sex). Intercourse may become painful because of vaginal dryness.

In men, the most common symptom of prolactinoma is impotence. Because men have no reliable indicator such as menstruation to signal a problem, many men delay going to the doctor until they have headaches or eye problems caused by the enlarged pituitary pressing against nearby eye nerves. They may not recognize a gradual loss of sexual function or libido. Only after treatment do some men realize they had a problem with sexual function. (Source: excerpt from Prolactinoma: NIDDK)
