Prolactin Test Price in Delhi

The amount of prolactin in the blood can be measured using a prolactin (PRL) test. Prolactinoma, a tumour in the pituitary gland that is the cause of infertility in women and decreased sex drive in males, is typically diagnosed with a prolactin test.. One can go for the prolactin test in Delhi or any other city at the nearest and reliable diagnostic lab.

Overview of the Prolactin Test 

An individual's prolactin levels are determined by a prolactin test in Delhi or any other city. Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland, a little organ located close to the base of the brain. Prolactin enhances milk production both throughout pregnancy and after delivery. During pregnancy and after giving birth, prolactin levels are frequently elevated. Males and non-pregnant women frequently have low levels. A prolactinoma, a type of pituitary gland tumour, is typically present when prolactin levels are higher than normal. Men and non-breastfeeding women can both produce breast milk when their levels of prolactin are elevated. Women who have too much prolactin may experience irregular menstruation and infertility. Men who have it may experience erectile dysfunction and decreased sex drive. 

When is the Prolactin Test Prescribed?

An individual's doctor may recommend a prolactin test in Delhi or any other city if the doctor suspects high levels of prolactin in one’s blood. Additionally, the symptoms can alert the clinician to a prolactin-related issue. However, men and women experience different symptoms. 

For Women

Whether or not a woman has undergone menopause will also have an impact on her symptoms. A woman enters menopause when her menstrual periods end and she loses her ability to get pregnant. For women, it often starts around the age of 50. However, high prolactin might cause the following symptoms in women who have not yet experienced menopause:

  • 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
