Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
High prolactin levels can be seen due to non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland. Micro or macroadenoma of the pituitary gland is common and presents with increased prolactin levels which can cause non-pregnant lactation.
Increased levels of prolactin can lead to infertility in many, this has to be addressed at the earliest.
