Hey there.
I'm a male and for the last 10 or so years have been treating my macroprolactinoma, they tried taking me off cabergoline once my levels were normal and it started growing and my levels went sky high within a few weeks.
My biggest indicator of something being off is my left nipple it becomes sensitive,itchy and very puffy sticks out like a cone.
I am back on the cabergoline now a few months however this time round I seem to be having surges of prolactin or maybe it's estrogen..... all I know is my nipple gets puffy and sensitive at random times of the day.
It is usually right after working out... and at it's worst about an hour afterwards or after I've eating ( will come back to that)
When I was first diagnosed I also was on hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency and had secondary hypogonadism.
I struggle to get or keep erections and my hair is so diffuse all over I have ended up shaving it off completely... but i'm tall and big built almost scarely big... think rugby player sized.
I grow muscle extremely easy and put on fat just as easy.
I have started to notice about 20 mins after eating my nipple puffs up.... but when I went on a low carb diet and was eating most red meat and eggs... this never happened so it got me thinking do carbs cause a prolactin increase ??
I think the increase post workout may be something to do with my cortisol going up after a hard workout...
So what I'm trying to do is prevent the prolactin increasing post workout and after eating... any tips ?
