Question
My daughter has been on formula milk for a long time, and recently I found her breasts are swelling and there are hard lumps. In the Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, it was found that her prolactin levels are high. Previous treatment and effects: Only had breast ultrasound. I would like to get some help: What should I do?
Answer
Hello, if there were no other abnormalities before pregnancy, and there have been no checks during pregnancy that have discovered any abnormalities in the fetus, then wait until the child is born. With such high prolactin levels in the child, you should first have the child undergo a brain MRI to see if it is due to a pituitary adenoma. If this condition in the child is caused by an adenoma, it will require surgical treatment for the child… At the same time, if there is no such problem, and the prolactin levels are high, this will require bromocriptine treatment. It is recommended to investigate, especially if there is breastfeeding; focus on checking the mother, as this can help find the cause. For the high levels, the impact on the child is limited.
