His and Her Health

I posted this on Friday, but I don't see it on the board now.<BR>I am 38 years old. I had a hysterectome in 98, but kept my ovaries. In 2002 I was told I was in full menopause, with my FSH at 98. <BR>I have been taking estragen with testoserone since then, and have been taking synthroid since 1993, I think.<BR>My left brest has recently began to produce a white fluid when stimulated. I have never had children.<BR>My Gyn had me take a prolactin serum test. Does anyone know what he may be looking for?<BR>Thanks for any information you can offer.

he is looking for a hormone secreting tumor called a prolactinoma in the hypothalmus (a area of the brain behind the eyes) They are not cancerous or dangerous and can be treated with medication. <P>------------------<BR>Andrew T. Goldstein<BR>Director, The Center For Vulvovaginal Disorders
