The Prolactin test measures the level of the hormone prolactin in a venous blood sample. Elevated or low prolactin may be linked to reproductive or pituitary concerns, making this single‑marker panel useful for anyone investigating hormonal balance. It costs £50 (plus a £15 blood‑draw fee) and results are typically returned within a few business days.
About this treatment
The Prolactin blood test evaluates the concentration of prolactin, a hormone that plays a role in lactation, reproductive health, and pituitary function. A single‑marker panel, it requires a venous blood draw and is priced at £50, not including the standard £15 phlebotomy charge. Results are usually available within a few business days, allowing timely discussion with a clinician. This test is appropriate for individuals experiencing menstrual irregularities, infertility, galactorrhea, or unexplained headaches, as prolactin levels may be associated with these conditions. The service includes the blood collection, laboratory analysis of the prolactin marker, and a detailed report with a follow‑up consultation.
