Hello.
In case the Prolactin is high, the Cabergolin should not be stopped, but the dose increased to 0.5mg twice a week.
What was the size of the adenoma, micro or macro?
The dose and duration of cabergolin will depend on this.
Once the prolactin is normal, things should improve.
Regards.

Prolactin is already normal everything start improving but from last month sperm count is again decreasing and he is continue taking cabergolin. Adenoma was small. I has been 1 year since we came to know about the adenoma. I just want to know what should we do to improve the sperm count. Our doc has examined his testis they are normal.
