Brief Answer:
Medication required

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, prolactin levels are not treated by exercise.
It's a hormonal disorder, and need to be treated by medications.
It can be raised by various causes.
Tumors of pituitary gland can lead to increased levels, however the levels are not so much raised in your case.
You should get medications to reduce cabgolin.
