Prolactin Price in Bangladesh

What is Prolactin?

A Prolactin test measures the level of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which plays a role in milk production. Purpose: It helps evaluate fertility, pituitary disorders, or lactation issues.

Preparation: No specific preparation is needed, though stress and certain medications may affect results. Procedure: A blood sample is drawn, usually from the arm.

Risks: Minimal, but may include slight discomfort or bruising. Results: High levels could indicate pituitary disorders, pregnancy, or stress.

Low levels might suggest hypothyroidism. Always consult your doctor to interpret results in context with your symptoms.

What to expect & how to prepare

Prolactin is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Prolactin result rather than self-diagnosing.
