    Why Is the Prolactin Test Done?

    In Women

    Prolactinoma is a noncancerous tumor which forms on the pituitary gland. This tumor produces high levels of prolactin. Women who are having prolactinoma symptoms may need to take the test.

    Symptoms of prolactinoma in women include:

    • unexplained headaches
    • visual impairment
    • Galactorrhea or lactation which is outside of childbirth or nursing
    • pain or discomfort during sex
    • abnormal growth of body and facial hair
    • abnormal acne

    The prolactin test is usually performed on people who have prolactinoma. This is to keep track of the tumor’s response to treatment. The prolactin test may be needed if you are having fertility problems or if you are having irregular periods. The test can also rule out other pituitary gland problems or other hypothalamus problems.

    In Men

    Men may need the test if they display the symptoms of prolactinoma. Symptoms of prolactinoma in men include the following:

    • unexplained headaches
    • visual impairment
    • reduced sex drive or fertility problems
    • erectile dysfunction
    • may experience abnormal body and facial hair growth

    The test may also be used to:

    • investigate testicular dysfunction or erectile dysfunction
    • rule out the problems with the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland

    Prolactin Test Procedure

    A prolactin test is like a normal blood test. It takes a few minutes at your doctor’s office or it takes a very little time in a lab. You are not needed to do any special preparations for the test. The sample is typically collected within three to four hours after waking up in the morning. Blood is drawn from a vein in your arm and there is very little pain. when the needle goes in. You may experience some mild soreness after the test.

    Some birth control pills or some high blood pressure drugs, or antidepressants can affect the test results. Inform your doctor about any medications that you’re taking before you undergo the test. High stress levels or sleeping problems and strenuous exercise before the test can also influence the results of your prolactin test.
