What parameters are tested?
Prolactin
Evaluate prolactin levels in the blood, assessing the hormone responsible for stimulating milk production in women, particularly during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Prolactin also plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle and fertility in both men and women. Abnormal levels of prolactin may be associated with conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, which can impact reproductive health, cause irregular menstrual cycles, and affect fertility.

A prolactin blood test measures the levels of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, in your blood.
This test helps identify issues related to fertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and unexpected nipple discharge. It is also used to diagnose disorders affecting the pituitary gland.
Prolactin levels naturally vary throughout the day, so the test can be done at any time. However, your doctor may recommend a specific time based on your symptoms.
Elevated levels may suggest conditions like hyperprolactinemia, which can affect fertility and menstrual cycles. Low levels are less common but could indicate a pituitary disorder.
