The Prolactin test measures the level of the Prolactin hormone in your blood.Prolactin is a critical hormone primarily produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain.While most famous for its role in lactation, it is essential in both men and women for reproductive, metabolic, and immune functions.

Prolactin's main function is to stimulate milk production (lactation) after childbirth. Its secretion is usually inhibited by dopamine (a neurotransmitter) and stimulated by TRH (Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone).

The Prolactin test measures the hormone Prolactin in the blood.

As an NABL Accredited Laboratory, Augmentum Diagnostics adheres to stringent national quality standards. Our testing protocol is designed to minimize pre-analytical errors (like stress-related false elevation), ensuring you receive the most accurate baseline result for this sensitive hormone.

Yes. To get an accurate baseline result, the test should be performed 2–4 hours after waking up (e.g., mid-morning). It is crucial to avoid physical and psychological stress, strenuous exercise, and sexual activity for at least 12 hours before the sample collection, as these factors can temporarily cause a false elevation in prolactin levels.
