It means you have hyperprolactinemia. 50% of times its due to pitutary tumor. Other causes are drug induced, physiological or due to hypothyroidism. If you are not on any drugs that can cause high prolactin levels, get your thyroid function done. If normal you should get MRI brain done for pitutary size. If micro adenoma it can be treated with drugs.
