Hi,

But you need to follow up on your prolactin level to see if the treatment was successful. If still high then a CT brain is indicated to exclude prolactinoma.

If within normal range than that I would recommend that your husband gets a semen analysis to exclude male factor infertility.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but you need to do a follow-up test on your prolactin level to see if you were responsive to treatment.

If still high then you need a ct scan brain to exclude prolactinoma. If within normal range then I would recommend that your husband gets a semen analysis to exclude male factor infertility.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
