needofhelp1231
In august of this year i had noticed that my right nipple was puffy and upon squeezing had leaked out milky fluid. I was referred to an endocrinologist, where we established the culprit of my condition, was from a sports supplement used for endurance. I've had all the tests and i was diagnosed with high Prolactin levels of 23 ng/ l and am currently taking Cabergoline for those symptoms. Although now i have developed a mass behind the nipple, that is 2 cm in size. is Surgery the only option?
