About the Serum Prolactin Test
Prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland. Its best known job is to start and maintain breast milk after childbirth, but it also acts on the ovaries and testes. When prolactin stays high outside pregnancy and breastfeeding, it suppresses the hormones that control ovulation and sperm production, which can lead to irregular or missed periods, difficulty conceiving, low libido and, in some people, a milky discharge from the nipples.

- Sample
- Blood
- Fasting
- Not required
- Report
- 24 hours
Preparation
- No fasting is needed, but give the sample at least 2 to 3 hours after waking, as prolactin is naturally high during and just after sleep.
- Sit and rest quietly for 15 to 20 minutes before the sample is drawn. Rushing in, stress or anxiety about the needle can raise prolactin.
- Avoid nipple or breast stimulation, sexual activity and heavy exercise in the hours before the test.
- Tell the staff about all your medicines, especially those for acidity, nausea, mental health or blood pressure. Do not stop any medicine without your doctor’s advice.
Normal range
| Parameter | Typical reference range |
|---|---|
| Women (not pregnant) | About 4.8–23.3 ng/mL |
| Men | About 4.0–15.2 ng/mL |
| Pregnancy | Rises steadily, often reaching 10 times the non-pregnant level by the third trimester |
| Breastfeeding | Stays raised and peaks after each feed |
Multiply ng/mL by about 21 to convert to µIU/mL. Upper limits differ between analysers, so compare with the range on your report. Ranges are typical adult values and vary between labs, age and sex. Always use the range printed on your report and discuss results with your doctor.
