About test
What does PROLACTIN (PRL) measure?
This test measures the level of prolactin (PRL), a hormone involved in breast milk production and reproductive function. It may be used to help evaluate menstrual or fertility concerns, unexpected milk production, reduced sexual function, or possible hormone-related pituitary conditions. Prolactin levels can also be monitored when certain medicines or medical conditions may affect this hormone.
