What is the purpose of this test?
The Prolactin Serum Test Kit measures prolactin levels in the bloodstream. Prolactin is a hormone primarily associated with lactation and breast development but also plays other important roles in the body. By assessing prolactin levels, this test kit provides valuable insights into various aspects of health, including reproductive function, menstrual irregularities, and certain medical conditions. It helps in diagnosing disorders such as hyperprolactinemia, which can affect fertility, sexual function, and bone health. Additionally, monitoring prolactin levels can aid in evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for prolactin-related conditions. Overall, the Prolactin Serum Test Kit empowers individuals and healthcare providers with important information to optimize health and address potential underlying hormonal imbalances.
