Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a role in lactation and reproductive function. Measurement of prolactin levels is commonly used in the evaluation of galactorrhea, menstrual irregularities such as amenorrhea, infertility, and suspected pituitary disorders including prolactin-secreting adenomas. Levels may be influenced by factors such as stress, certain medications, and physiological states.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
