Prolactinoma and Pregnancy: Symptoms to Watch For

The patient should consult her endocrinologist promptly if she develops symptoms, especially if the symptoms include:
 
  • Headaches
  • Visual changes
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Excessive thirst or urination
  • Extreme lethargy.
     
Bromocriptine or cabergoline treatment may be renewed and additional prolactinoma treatment may be required if the patient develops prolactinoma symptoms from growth of the tumor during pregnancy.
