Increased prolactin level
I have done a USG abdomen for routine check and found a PCOD indication so consulted an endocrinologist for further investigation.
The doctor asked for some hormone test and all the hormone levels came normal except prolactin which was elevated.
What can be the probable cause and whom should I consult now.
I am neither under any medication or having any issues except sometimes irregular period
Kindly guide me further
