    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Amenorrhea and galactorrhea can be associated with hyperprolactinemia.
    • Hyperprolactinemia is often treated with ovulation induction agents in infertile women.

    Observation:

    • A case of amenorrhea with galactorrhea was linked to a prolactin adenoma.
    • The adenoma developed secondary to ovulation induction therapy (HMG and HCG).
    • Pregnancy occurred in the patient.

    Findings:

    • The prolactin adenoma rapidly progressed, forming a hematoma.
    • Emergency surgery was required due to the adenoma's progression and hematoma formation.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential risks of ovulation induction agents in patients with amenorrhea and galactorrhea.
    • Careful consideration of risks versus benefits is crucial when prescribing these agents.
