A 42-year old woman attends the GP, due to a menstrual problem

A 42-year old woman attends the GP, due to a menstrual problem. She has always had regular menstrual periods but is concerned because she has not had a period for nearly two months – and the last period she had was lighter than normal, and lasted around 10 days rather than the normal five to six days of her cycle. Her past medical history includes paranoid schizophrenia, which she says is well-controlled, and for whom she sees a community psychiatric nurse regularly. She says there is no chance she could be pregnant, and a urinary pregnancy test confirms this. The GP arranges a series of blood tests, which reveal an elevated level of prolactin.
