Galactorrhea:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
In the female with galactorrhea, milk continues to flow after the 21-day period that’s normal after weaning. Galactorrhea may also be spontaneous and unrelated to normal lactation, or it may be caused by manual expression. Such abnormal flow is usually bilateral and may be accompanied by amenorrhea.

Article Excerpts About 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.
