The Prolactin Test measures the level of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Prolactin plays a key role in breast development and milk production during pregnancy and postpartum. High prolactin levels, however, can indicate the presence of a prolactinoma (pituitary gland tumor), which may lead to menstrual irregularities and infertility in women and reduced sex drive and erectile dysfunction in men. The test is essential for assessing hormone-related health conditions and understanding pituitary gland function.

The Prolactin Test is crucial for individuals showing signs of abnormal prolactin levels, such as infertility, menstrual irregularities, or unexplained nipple discharge. High prolactin levels, often linked to pituitary gland tumors, can lead to issues like breast milk production in non-pregnant women or men and reproductive health challenges in both sexes. Early detection helps in timely diagnosis and management, reducing potential complications associated with untreated high prolactin levels, such as hormone imbalances, vision issues, and other pituitary-related health concerns.
