Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Prolactinoma results in secretion of prolactin hormone. Excess prolactin hormone results in galactorrhoea, discharge from breasts and menstrual irregularities. You are on 0.25 mg Cabergoline and have delayed menstruation. As your pregnancy tests came negative so most likely the cause of delayed periods is hyperprolactine states. Please get your repeat prolactine levels done to rule out increased prolactine levels in brain. Visit your doctor for help.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
