Very knowledgeable and easy to understand, thank you for making this video! For YEARS, I've been dealing with a sudden onset of hormone dysfunction and was diagnosed with PCOS at 21. When my symptoms started, it was after I started taking the medication called Geodon when I was 20. Suddenly I noticed that my mental focus and clarity were gone-overnight; then the weight gain started, I started feeling more depressed than usual and very moody and subsequently was put on medications for that, which didn't help anything. My breasts grew even bigger at the age of 20: I went from needing a B cup bra to a D cup bra within a year, and I wasn't pregnant! I was on Geodon for a couple years, but in that short amount of time, it wreaked havoc on what was previously a well-balanced and healthy body with no issues, to suddenly it felt like my body turned against me. I'm now 39, having trouble conceiving despite fertility treatments, my breasts are still the same size they grew into, can't lose weight, and still have the PCOS diagnosis. I came across this channel and now I'm glad I made the doctor appointment I made-it's definitely time to find out exactly what is going on here! I don't want to self-diagnose, but I'm seriously wondering if there is a possibility of a prolactin secreting tumor, screwing up everything in my body.

Hello Stanford, I have had a pituitary tumor since diagnosed in Rutland Vermont on May 12, 2003. The PC and also Dartmouth neurosurgeons said it was too risky to do transphenoidal and that I would have serious problems. Since living in Burlington Vermont, any time I have complained about the tumor, which is now a macroadenoma, since 2008, noone will do even anything at all here at UVM medical center in Burlington. They have told me not to worry about it, be lucky it has not killed me, or BS that pills will boost sugar levels. I appealed to neurosurgery directly and they had patient advocates call me. Nowhere. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I have all types of symptoms in which they said is a mental problem. Lots know here but noone cares or not their problem in Vermont.

I'm a 42 (1 month shy of 43) year old male and my prolactin levels were good at 4.9. If my prolactin is good but Testosterone level is at 233 (which is still low for my age) - would i need to do an MRI for the brain?

If prolactin hormone level is 103 ng/ml then it may lead to pituitary tumor or not?

I have a 4 mm and doctors told me nothing is wrong. I had blurriness and in a 4 month span 16 MRIs and a spinal tap and checked for everything else. I’m at a loss as for help with doctors. My original mri showed was 2 mm after 4 months was last checked 4 mm and now doctors telling me I’m faking it meanwhile referred me to other specialist. Heck, I even had a pet scan which was clear. I clearly have gone around the country for 2 yrs trying to find out what happened and what is going on. I guess I’m left with one alternative such as live my life the best I can. I found little comfort taking magnesium bilberry etc and for a short time everyday I can see a little which is something. I’m adjusted in my home life for anything. I can count on family more than doctors. Even though my primary trying his best when everyone else stopped I respect it.
