Prolactin Test Price in Pune

How much prolactin is in your blood can be determined with a prolactin (PRL) test. The most typical illness for which a prolactin test is used is prolactinoma, a pituitary gland tumour that decreases sex drive in males and causes infertility in females. A prolactin test can be obtained at the nearest and most reliable diagnostic center in Pune or any other area.

Overview of the Prolactin Test 

A prolactin test can be carried out anywhere, including Pune, to determine a person's prolactin levels. The pituitary gland, a little organ found near the base of the brain, is in charge of producing prolactin. Prolactin increases milk production both throughout pregnancy and right after delivery. Prolactin levels frequently rise throughout pregnancy and following birth. Typically, men and non-pregnant women have low levels. A prolactinoma, a type of pituitary gland tumor, is usually seen when prolactin levels are higher than normal. Men and non-breastfeeding women can both produce breast milk when their prolactin levels are high. High prolactin levels in women increase their chances of infertility and irregular menstruation. It can reduce sex drive and give males erectile dysfunction.

When is the Prolactin Test Prescribed?

A doctor might suggest being tested in Pune or another location if they have reason to believe that a patient's blood has an excessive amount of prolactin. Additionally, the symptoms might alert the doctor to a prolactin-related issue. Although both men and women have symptoms, they are different from one another.

For Women

The symptoms a woman experiences will vary depending on whether menopause is present or not. A woman has entered menopause when her monthly periods end and she is no longer able to become pregnant. For women, it usually starts around age 50. However, in women who have not yet entered menopause, high prolactin levels can cause the following symptoms and signs:

  • 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

Time Required for Prolactin Test Reports + Next Steps

In Pune and other places, prolactin test results are typically accessible 24 hours after the sample was collected. By accessing the official Max Lab website, one may quickly obtain their reports. Depending on the outcomes, the blood's prolactin levels could be low or high. It is important to bring this report with you to the doctor's appointment so they can properly assess your issue and make treatment recommendations. This is due to the fact that elevated prolactin levels may be a sign of various diseases.
