Gender differences in prolactin thresholds and their association with lactotroph adenoma invasiveness for potential treatment considerations Open
Recent trends in first-line transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for prolactinoma patients aim to reduce long-term dependence on dopamine agonists (DA). Key factors linked to poor surgical outcomes include cavernous sinus invasiveness and high ba…

Characteristics and outcomes of men with erectile dysfunction as the presenting symptom due to a lactotroph adenoma Open
Purpose Erectile dysfunction (ED) is frequently underreported in men suffering from prolactinomas and can be challenging to manage. Both dopamine agonists (DAs) and transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) correct hyperprolactinemia and restore gonad…
