The prolactin levels test serves multiple purposes, such as:

• Diagnosing a prolactinoma, a specific type of pituitary gland tumor.
• Identifying the root causes of menstrual irregularities and/or infertility in women.
• Investigating the factors contributing to a man's low sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction.

For individuals with symptoms of prolactinoma, a noncancerous pituitary gland tumor, the prolactin test is crucial. Symptoms encompass unexplained headaches, visual impairment, abnormal lactation (galactorrhea), pain or discomfort during sex, abnormal growth of body and facial hair, and abnormal acne. The test aids in monitoring the tumor's response to treatment in diagnosed cases.

• Specifically for Women: Women may require the test if they exhibit prolactinoma symptoms or face fertility problems and irregular periods. It is also valuable for ruling out other pituitary gland or hypothalamus issues.
• Specifically for Men: Men may need the test if they display symptoms of prolactinoma, including unexplained headaches, visual impairment, reduced sex drive, fertility problems, or erectile dysfunction. Additionally, the test proves useful in investigating testicular dysfunction and ruling out pituitary gland or hypothalamus issues.

No specific preparation is needed for the test. Simply schedule it three to four hours after waking up, as prolactin levels, which vary throughout the day, are typically highest in the early morning.

During the Prolactin Test

The Prolactin Test involves drawing a blood sample, which can be combined with routine tests or done separately. An assigned phlebotomist, using sterilized equipment and a vein finder device for safety, collects the blood at your chosen location. The sample is then stored in barcoded vials and transported to the laboratory for analysis.
