title: Contemporary therapy of prolactin-secreting adenomas.
abstract: Prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors are common benign pituitary neoplasm that cause amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and infertility. Inhibition of prolactin secretion by a dopamine agonist restores menses and reduces tumor size. This article outlines an approach to therapy and discusses the use of estrogen in women with prolactinomas.
