PCOS and prolactin?

Can anyone tell me how PCOS can affect prolactin. I know that prolactin will affect ovulation so tests are done to ensure that the prolactin isn't causing the symptoms of PCOS and prolactin should be low or normal. But then when I was looking at prolactin it said that it might be an effect of PCOS:

High levels are also seen with:

Anorexia nervosa
Drugs: Estrogen, tricyclic antidepressants, and drugs that block the effect of dopamine (a brain chemical that regulates and inhibits the production of prolactin) such as: tranquilizers, some hypertension drugs, and some drugs that are used to treat gastroesophageal reflux
Hypothalamic diseases
Hypothyroidism
Kidney disease
Nipple stimulation (moderate increase)
Other pituitary tumors and diseases
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Prolactinomas

Is this true and if so why and how?

Thanks!

PCOS is connected to high testosterone levels. If prolactin levels are high that means that the person may also have a problem with the pituitary gland.

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
