Well, with your earlier post regarding bitemporal hemianopsia, I'd say that you probably have a prolactinoma (if it's 916 ng/ml). These are really questions your doctor should be answering for you, I'd reccomend that you make an appointment to discuss further work up and treatment options. You do need some sort of medical treatment for whatever you have.

Well, I don't really want to comment too much about that since I have no idea what your medical history is or whether or not you are even female. Your lab may use different normalized results as well. Here in the US, it's greater then 200 ng/ml that signifies that something is going on.
