Hi, >A microadenoma is a small (<10mm >diameter)tumor of the pituitary gland which causes prolactin >hypersecretion. Symptoms are: abnormal menstruation,infertility, >galactorrhea(too much milk), decreased libido, and vaginal dryness. >Parlodel is commonly used as treatment. 'Scuse my ignorance, but those symptoms sound like the typical breastfeeding mother to me (and over supply is such a common problem these days, isn't it?). Could you clarity please how a doctor would go about distinguishing the normal from the abnormal? I have visions of ever breastfeeding mother with irregular menstruation and over-supply being put on parlodel! -- Anna H.
