Description
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 Bengaluru or any other city at the nearest and reliable diagnostic lab.
A prolactin test in Bengaluru 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.
An individual's doctor may recommend a prolactin test in Bengaluru 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.

However, if a woman has not gone through menopause, excess prolactin can show these symptoms:
For Men

The prolactin test reports in Bengaluru and other cities are usually generated within 24 hours of the collected sample.
