Q: High Prolactin?
asked by: Nonnis on August 9th, 2006

Hello everyone,

my wife and I are trying to have a baby but it has been three years since a miscarriage she had within her two months of pregnancy. Since then we have had unprotected sex and had no luck. My issue is this, I went to the urologist for a check up and I was found with a high prolactin and so the doc sent me to have an mri done and these are the result if anyone could understand them and let me know if it is something to worry about or not.

Mri test was done for the pituitary prolactinoma because I have a high prolactin in my blood test.

My results state that I have a pituitary gland measuring 5mm and most consistent with a microadenoma. It also states that I have a giant cisterna magna or arachnoid cyst which measures 4cm.

The impression also stated:

1. Mri finding most consistent with a microadenoma in the right side of the pituitary gland which measure 5mm.
2. Suspected arachnoid cyst versus giant cisterna magna in the posterior fossa with a measurement of 4cm.

I am concerned about the results and I thought I could have someone explain to me the finding in simplest terms. I hope it isn't anything to worry about. Thank you

I'm sorry. I would have absolutely no idea what any of that means. When are you supposed to hear back from your doctor?

Thanks for your reply and yes I just came back from the doc’s office and he said it normal and nothing to worry about.

Now does anyone know what is a recommend way to get my wife pregnant medically because we have been trying unprotected sex for years now and nothing has happened? I have heard of an implant the doctor does with ones sperm?

Has your wife had any basic testing done yet? Are her cycles regular and has she tried charting her temp to verify if and when she is ovulating? I would suggest she see a doctor if you have been trying for years with no luck. There are some basic tests that they can do before you have to start any medical intervention. Some problems can be corrected realatively easily.
