What Causes Irregular Periods And Sudden Weight Gain?

continue tablet cabergolin and tablet dronis is not advisable.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
I can understand your concerns,
As you told that you have irregular periods and weight gain. Prolactin level is high.and you are on treatment.
I advice that you should take tablet cabergolin for 3 months and should go for prolactin level testing. If it does not come in normal range, you can take cabergolin for next 3 months.
How much it is high?
I suggest that you should not take tablet dronis as it has side effects. Your periods will become normal once your prolactin level will reach to normal level.
Vertigo can be because of enlargement of pituitary gland in brain or side effect of drug cabergolin.
MRI was advised becase in case of great enlargement of pituitary gland , surgery is advised.
Hope it helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks


contrast MRI better.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
Really sorry for the late response.
Its unfortunate that your prolactin levels keep rising.
Well, you would have to take cabergoline.
Coming to your question, In my opinion, contrast MRI is better especially to detect microadenoma of pituitary. It can clearly delineate the margins.
I understand your aporehension. But contrast MRI performed with trained hands is safe and there should be no major side effect.
Hope this helps.
Kindly discuss this with your doctor.
I wish you well.
Thanks.
