What is a Prolactin Test?

A Prolactin test is a blood test that measures the level of prolactin hormone in the body. Prolactin is mainly linked with milk production in women, but it also affects menstrual cycle, fertility, and even sexual health in both men and women. Doctors usually suggest a Prolactin test in KOTA when there are issues like irregular periods, fertility problems, or unexpected breast discharge.

Sometimes prolactin levels go high without very clear symptoms, so the test helps understand what’s happening inside.

Prolactin Test Parameters

This test checks one main hormone level.

Serum Prolactin: It measures the amount of prolactin in blood. High levels may be linked to hormonal imbalance, stress, thyroid issues, or pituitary-related conditions. Low levels are less common and usually not a big concern.

Since hormone levels can change easily, proper sample handling matters a lot.

When is a Prolactin Test Advised?

Your doctor may recommend a Prolactin test if you experience:

Irregular or missed periods
Difficulty in getting pregnant
Milk discharge without pregnancy or breastfeeding
Decreased libido
Erectile issues in men
Headaches or vision problems
Suspected hormonal imbalance

Many of these symptoms overlap with other conditions, so testing helps narrow things down.
