  • Title: Galactorrhea may be clue to serious problems. Patients deserve a thorough workup.
    Author: Whitman-Elia GF, Windham NQ.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 2000 Jun; 107(7):165-8, 171. PubMed ID: 10887453.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of nonphysiologic hyperprolactinemia associated with pituitary disease evidenced by galactorrhea are presented. Two patients had significant pituitary disease associated with low-level prolactin elevations. The third patient had only a history of infertility and expressible galactorrhea on examination. This patient was found to have high prolactin levels and a locally invasive pituitary tumor. Physicians need to be aware of the serious conditions associated with galactorrhea so that appropriate diagnostic studies can be done and treatment instituted.
