Why book a Prolactin Test?
- After a child is born, prolactin stimulates milk production in the breasts. The pituitary gland, a small organ near the base of the brain, produces prolactin. If your test results show elevated prolactin levels, you may have a prolactinoma, a type of pituitary tumour.
- The prolactin test could also be used to evaluate menstrual irregularities or the causes of infertility in women. This test is also used to monitor and identify the root cause of low sexual drive and/or erectile dysfunction in men.
- If you are experiencing symptoms such as infertility, breast milk leakage, loss of sexual desire, irregular periods, and so on, a prolactin test is recommended.
