Suggest Treatment For Lump And Discharge From Breast

Hi I have high prolactin levels and numerous complaints e.g. severe headaches, dizziness, lightheaded, neck pain, frozen shoulder, visual floaters, frequent bleeding, sore breasts with some lumps and discharge. I have had the mirena coil fitted 1 &1/2 years ago after my 2nd child to try and help with pains and complaints of endometriosis. Could the mirena be causing the higher prolactin??

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No mirena is not causing higher prolactin level.
In my opinion your endometriosis is causing higher prolactin levels.
Another possibility is prolactin secreting tumour.
So better to consult endocrinologist and search for the cause of your higher prolactin level.
Control of endometriosis is also required in your case.
Once endometriosis and prolactin levels are controlled, all your symptoms will go away.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
