Differential causes of hyperprolactinaemia

The listing of causes, other than prolactinomas, of hyperprolactinaemia really belongs in the appropriate section of Prolactin.

The diagnosis and imaging needs to be mentioned here and will be slightly duplicated under the investigation of hyperprolactinaemia generally. David Ruben^talk 22:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
