Prolactin Test In Ludhiana - Price & Details

Prolactin levels in pregnant women and those who have given birth are quite high. But, it is possible to have high prolactin levels even in females who are not pregnant and males. High prolactin levels in women can cause menstrual problems and infertility. On the other hand, high prolactin levels in men can cause lower sex drives and erectile dysfunction. In certain cases, high prolactin levels might also indicate the presence of a type of tumour in your pituitary gland.
