I am having more bloodwork ordered by my doctor, and he is retesting my testosterone and prolactin levels. (I am a 20 year old female, with a 4 year old child. Not breastfeeding.) I was just diagnosed with PCOS (polycycstic ovarian syndrome) and so the testosterone I understand after researching it, but the prolactin I am confused about. I see that it is tested a lot for people with tumors, but I was never told I have a tumor, or might have one. I do have a large growth, possibly a nabothian cyst, on my cervix which I am having removed sometime next month. He also did a biopsy on my uterus, but I couldn't understand what he told me about the results. (I know, I should have had him explain it to me.) What exactly would these tests be ordered for? I know I kind of answered my own question, but looking for someone maybe with experience with this type of problem? Any information you can provide me will be greatly appreciated! (I tend to worry alot, and feel better hearing personal stories.
