These tumors are more frequently diagnosed in women and usually affect the reproductive axis, leading to secondary hypogonadism. The diagnosis of prolactinoma is based on the presence of clinical features -- such as menstrual irregularity, erectile dysfunction, galactorrhea, and infertility -- and the detection of elevated serum PRL levels and confirmed by the existence of a pituitary tumor on magnetic resonance imaging.
