A high prolactin level (38.6) can be due to stress, certain medicines, thyroid problems, or hormonal imbalance. Avoid stress and breast stimulation, as these can raise prolactin. If levels remain high or you have symptoms, a doctor may prescribe medicines like Cabergoline or bromocriptine to bring them down. Treatment depends on the cause, so it is best to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and guidance.
