[charlie2337]

I have recently been told I have hyperprolactinemia and have recently started putting on weight. Is this a common factor in haveing hyperprolactinemia?

The main symptoms for Hyperprolactinemia are; Irregular menstruation, Infertility, Loss of libido, Peripheral vision problems, Mood changes / depression, Galactorrhea, Signs of increased androgen levels. Although this list isnt exauhstive, in most journals/books I have not heard of weight gain being a side effect.

It is however more likely that any medication you have been provided [would be handy to know what you have been prescribed], will include weight gain as a side effect.
