The pituitary gland regulates other components of the endocrine system (a group of organs and glands which make hormones). Abnormal levels of prolactin in the blood can alter the secretion of other hormones, resulting in a range of health problems.
However, prolactin in normal levels is essential. Prolactin stimulates mammary gland development and milk production in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Some studies have found that normal prolactin levels in men are conducive to neurogenesis and for battling psychological stress.
A prolactin test is done to check for pituitary tumours called prolactinoma that are non-cancerous. This condition causes spikes in Prolactin levels.
Sometimes elevated prolactin levels interfere with the functions of the ovaries and testes and may cause the symptoms of:
- Breast milk production which is not related to pregnancy or childbirth
- A change in sex drive in men and women
- Not able to get pregnant
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Premature menopause
- Erection problems in men
- Bone fragility
Large prolactinoma may cause hypothyroidism and raise the levels of prolactin hormone in postmenopausal women.
Normally, pregnant women and nursing mothers have high levels of prolactin.
Rarely are patients diagnosed with a prolactin deficiency known as hyperprolactinemia, which causes an inability to produce breast milk after childbirth.
Test Necessity
Your doctor may ask for a prolactin test if he/she suspects that your prolactin level is high. The symptoms include:
- Acne
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Sexual interest has waned
- Vaginal dryness
- Breast milk production in nonpregnant and non-nursing women
- Infertility
- Inability to get pregnant
- Hirsutism or excessive body and facial hair growth
It is important to speak with your doctor about the purpose of your prolactin test and what the results mean in your specific situation.
Test Preparation
Fasting is required for a prolactin test. Fasting means you should not eat or drink (except water) for 9 to 12 hours prior to the test. Prolactin test is best done in the morning, 3 to 4 hours after awakening.
During the Prolactin Test
As this is a blood test, a phlebotomist will come to your house to collect a blood sample on the day and at the time you selected. A vein finder will help the skilled phlebotomist to find the vein needed and the blood will be drawn quickly and painlessly. The sample will then be transported to PharmEasy Labs for analysis. The results will then be sent to you by email.
