Description
Prolactin Diagnostic Test Panel
The Prolactin Test measures the level of prolactin hormone in your blood, which is produced by the pituitary gland. While prolactin primarily stimulates milk production after childbirth, balanced levels are essential for reproductive health in both women and men. Measuring prolactin levels helps diagnose pituitary disorders, fertility issues, and hormone-related menstrual irregularities.
Key Indications for Testing:
- Investigating female infertility, irregular periods, or abnormal milk production (galactorrhea)
- Evaluating male fertility issues, decreased libido, or erectile dysfunction
- Screening for suspected pituitary tumors (prolactinomas) or pituitary gland disorders
- Evaluating unexplained, chronic headaches or visual field disturbances
Test Specifications & Instructions:
- Specimen Type: Blood Sample (Serum)
- Fasting & Preparation: Fasting is generally not required; however, sample collection is recommended 3 to 4 hours after waking up (resting state) for the most accurate baseline readings.
- Reports: Fast turnaround time with verified digital report delivery.
