About Prolactin test
The Prolactin test is a blood test that measures the level of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Prolactin plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system by promoting breast development and milk production. This test is often used to investigate fertility issues, pituitary tumor, irregular menstrual periods, or unusual breast milk production. Abnormal levels of prolactin may be associated with conditions like hyperprolactinemia, which can affect reproductive health.
