can birth control increse the level of Prolaction (milk hormone) ?

Question

my prolactin level is high..802mlU/L ( the normal range is between 118-555) i'm on birth control for 3 months or so..can this affect it ?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible that this could be related to the pill, but ask your doctor about how they feel your pituitary gland (a gland at the back of the brain that has control over hormones) is doing because sometimes high prolactin levels can mean a problem in the pituitary gland.
