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. This book discusses the relation between prolactinomas and the increase in body fat and weight. 410 0$aCancer etiology, diagnosis, and treatments. 606 $aProlactinoma 606 $aProlactin 606 $aObesity$xEndocrine aspects 615 0$aProlactinoma. 615 0$aProlactin. 615 0$aObesity$xEndocrine aspects. 676 $a616.3/98071 700 $aNaliato$b Erika C.
