Prolactin Test In Agra - Price & Details

As we have already discussed, prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland. For a normal human being, irrespective of the fact if it is a man or a woman, the prolactin level shouldn't be high. In case it is higher than normal, it might lead to the issue of prolactinoma. This tumour makes the gland produce too much prolactin. It can lead to some serious issues as well, such as lower sex drive and erectile dysfunction.

Once you conduct the test, you will know if you're suffering from prolactinoma or not. In case you are, you would get it treated before things become too late. If prolactinomas are left untreated, these tumours can damage surrounding tissues. Generally, a prolactin test is used to:

• Diagnose a prolactinoma (a type of tumour of the pituitary gland)
• Know the reason for a woman's menstrual irregularities and/or infertility
• To search for the cause of a man's low sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction

Prolactin levels are higher for a pregnant woman and the exact opposite for both non-pregnant women as well as men. If it's found that a woman or a man has prolactin levels higher than normal, it calls for concern as it might lead to a tumour known as a prolactinoma.

Your healthcare provider may prescribe this test if you show symptoms like unexpected nipple discharge, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, breast enlargement or a decrease in body hair.

You're not required to do fasting before the test. But you have to make sure that the test is conducted three to four hours after waking up. Prolactin levels change throughout the day but are usually the highest in the early morning. To know what else you need to prepare for, you should come in contact with the health provider at PharmEasy. In this way, you can get solutions to all your concerns.
