Serum Prolactin
Prolactin is primarily known for breast milk production. But elevated levels in non-pregnant women or men can indicate pituitary problems or medication side effects.
Unit: ng/mL
High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) causes: missed/irregular periods in women, milky nipple discharge, infertility, low libido. In men: low testosterone, erectile dysfunction. Common causes: pituitary adenoma, medications (antipsychotics, anti-nausea drugs).
Low prolactin is rarely clinically significant. May indicate pituitary damage or Sheehan's syndrome (post-delivery pituitary infarction).
