What Are The Side Effects Of Having High Prolactin Level?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Prolactin can have an effect on breast tissue but to determine if the level is increased you would need to see your doctor for blood tests.
A test for prolactin can easily be done.
Breast size can also be affected by: (1)menstrual cycle, can increase and decrease during part of cycle
(2)pregnancy
(3)sexual activity
(4)birth control pills
(5)side effect of other medications
You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
