What is the Prolactin test?
A blood test known as a prolactin test is used to measure the amount of prolactin, a hormone made by the pituitary gland. Prolactin is crucial for both lactation and reproductive health. Unusual levels of prolactin can signal a range of health problems, such as infertility, irregular periods, and pituitary issues. High levels of prolactin in women can interfere with ovulation, resulting in challenges with getting pregnant. High levels in males can lead to reduced testosterone levels and sexual dysfunction. Regular testing is essential to detect these conditions in the early stages and to guarantee successful treatment. A prolactin test can offer important information about your hormonal health if you are worried about your prolactin levels.
Think about getting a prolactin test to keep track of your health status, and seek guidance from a medical professional for proper understanding of your results.
