Microprolactinoma patient?

I am 23 years old student, studying MBBS, diagnosed one year ago with microprolactinoma, taking cabergoline for 14 months now. My erections are good and I can ejaculate but I don't get any wet dreams, and I feel like my genitals are not fully adult (the length is good that is 6 inches erect but it is thin). I have 3 years are left to my graduation and I am so worried about my marriage, kindly guide me in the view of my health conditions, the best age to marry, and whether I should tell my (partner to be) about this tumor or keep it a secret?

Microprolactinomas are generally easy to treat and don’t require surgery when responsive to medications like cabergoline. Prolactin elevations do suppress testosterone, so you want to make sure both of these hormones are in the normal range. I would tell your partner, but also tell them that this condition is completely treatable and should not cause infertility if adequately treated.
