Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.
High prolactin levels are usually seen physiologically in lactation periods.Once milk secretion stops and regular periods commences,prolactin level comes down by itself.

But in your case pathologically,it is elevated.It may be due to pituitary mass like craniopharyngioma or prolactinoma.As your prolactin levels are not decreasing after taking medications also,permanent treatment for this condition is removal of the pituitary mass surgically.

So,i would suggest you to consult your treating doctor regarding this and take appropriate step.

Hope you are happy with the answer.

Than you
