How did you get diagnosed eventually? What all tests did you go thru first?
- arkh 2y ago> How did you get diagnosed eventually? What all tests did you go thru first? When entering the office of an endocrinologist for something unrelated they asked if I was there for some thing (which I guess was "prolactinoma") which was not the case; they still told me to get my prolactin levels checked because I had "the body for that". Their guess was right. I was really lucky as usually it is diagnosed in men when they start losing peripheral vision or producing milk.
- swat535 2y agoI don't have prolactinoma but I got tested for it. I had low libido as a man with ED problems, I went to a Urologist and he prescribed a whole bunch of tests which includes checking your Prolactin levels as well as SHBG, FSH, LH,Testosterone, E2 etc. I suppose an Endocrinologist would run the same tests.. in my case I had Secondary Hypogonadism and was put on HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which resolved my Testostrone issues and libido and improved my sperm count as a nice bonus. But I digress, the point is that if you suspect any issues, go see a doctor!
