Suggest Remedies For Elevated Prolactin Levels In Blood

Posted on Tue, 11 Oct 2016

Question: The caberlin tends to control my prolactin almost immediately (within a week of starting the treatment, I get my periods), however once the medication is stopped it tends to increase again. What is the long term solution for the problem since I do not want to be dependent on medicines all my life.

Brief Answer:
MRI advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety about the issue.
Get repeat prolactin done as it is not essential that deranged periods are because of prolactin
Even if there then also caber holing can control it well.
As far as long term cure is concerned there is no other alternative except cabergolin
Also get an MRI head and neck done as this much elevation repeatedly can be due to some problem in pituitary gland in brain.
All the best
Regards
Dr Manisha

Is this condition curable over years?
Also are there any diet restrictions to be followed.
I have an anxious tendency and tend to get worried often. Practicing Yoga and meditation for the same. Will that help?

Brief Answer:
Self limiting

Detailed Answer:
yoga and meditation can help but in general no diet plan or lifestyle change causes remission as it is a self limiting disease usually and may persist for years together or gets relieved there and then.
