Pooled - Prolactin near me in Bangalore

Prolactin is a hormone normally produced in both males and non-pregnant females in small amounts. This hormone stimulate milk production (lactation) after childbirth and is therefore, also called the 'milk-producing hormone'.
The levels of prolactin hormone increase during pregnancy and after childbirth, as a natural phenomenon. However, a high level of prolactin is also associated with several disease conditions in both men and women. These conditions include flow of breast milk (galactorrhea) in non-pregnant women, abnormal nipple discharge, absent/ irregular menstrual cycle in women, infertility and pituitary tumors in both men and women.
Pooled Prolactin test is a modified approach of the prolactin test. As prolactin secretion is pulsatile, therefore to improve the accuracy of the results, three samples at 20 to 30 minutes intervals are collected. The sample collection professional may have to be present at your house for 1 hour or more.
