Prolactin Test Price in bathinda, Bathinda

A prolactin (PRL) test determines the levels of prolactin in the bloodstream. A prolactin test is usually prescribed to diagnose prolactinoma, a tumour in the pituitary gland, which is the cause of women’s infertility, and the cause of low sex drive in men. One can go for the prolactin test in Bathinda, Bathinda or any other city at the nearest and reliable diagnostic lab.

Overview of the Prolactin Test 

A prolactin test in Bathinda, Bathinda or any other city is used to measure the prolactin levels of an individual. The pituitary gland, a small gland near the base of the brain, produces prolactin. During pregnancy and after birth, prolactin increases breast development and milk production. Prolactin levels are often increased in pregnant women and new mothers. Non-pregnant women and males often have low levels. When prolactin levels are higher than normal, it generally indicates the presence of a prolactinoma, a kind of pituitary gland tumour. Excess prolactin can cause women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and men to produce breast milk. Too much prolactin in women can potentially cause menstrual issues and infertility. It can cause lower sex drive and erectile dysfunction in men. 

When is the Prolactin Test Prescribed?

An individual's doctor may recommend a prolactin test in Bathinda, Bathinda or any other city if the doctor suspects high levels of prolactin in one’s blood. The symptoms can also foretell the doctor about the prolactin-related problem. However, symptoms vary depending on women and men. 

For Women

If you are a woman, the symptoms will also be affected by whether or not she has gone through menopause. Menopause is the phase in a woman's life when her menstrual cycles stop and she is no longer able to become pregnant. It normally begins around the age of 50 for a woman. However, if a woman has not gone through menopause, excess prolactin can show these symptoms:

  • Breast tenderness
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Premature menopause (a condition where periods stops before the age of 40)
  • Infertility
  • Unusual & stubborn acne

For Men

The excess of prolactin in males results in these symptoms:

  • Low sex drive
  • Breast enlargement
  • Nipple discharge
  • Decreased body hair
