So i had a mammogram done today and an ultrasound to see why my right breast is leaking. They are now suspecting galactorrhea, but that is really hard to catch considering tests run on the pituitary gland can be easily misdiagnoised. Has anyone had glactorrhea or a pituitary glad disorder? If so how was it diagnoised and when was it diagnoised in relation to when you started showing symptoms?

I don't have a pituitary gland disorder but I have a friend that does and one of the tests they had to do on her to find out how things were going with the pituitary gland was to do an MRI of her brain (because the pituitary gland is at the base of the brain). After they found out what was wrong they put her on some medication to take care of the problem.
