Prolactin Test In Madurai - Price & Details

Pregnant women and women who have newly given birth have high prolactin levels. If the high prolactin levels indicate a tumour in the pituitary gland or a prolactinoma, it must be treated. Prolactinomas are usually benign, but can damage the surrounding healthy tissues. You will be asked to do the prolactin test if the doctor wants to assess these conditions:

• If there is a prolactinoma or a pituitary gland tumour
• Why there is low sex drive or erectile dysfunction in men
• Why women have infertility or menstrual issues

During a Prolactin Test

After the prolactin test has been booked, a phlebotomist is assigned who arrives at the house to collect the blood sample. You can choose the date and time of the test. The phlebotomist uses disposable gloves and needles to maintain hygiene and sanitation. They use a vein finder tool to locate the best vein to draw blood from, and clean the area with ethanol. The process is as painless as possible, and will be over in 5 to 10 minutes.
