Hello there.... I went through your query....
For prolactinomas, therapy with a dopaminergic drug is the treatment of choice .... For prolactin-secreting microadenomas, surgical removal is followed by recurrence in 10-50% of patients. Therefore, medical therapy is preferred....
Nonsecreting pituitary microadenomas do not need to be surgically resected... Consult Endocrinologist....
