Prolactin is a hormone the pituitary gland produces that causes the breasts to grow and make milk during pregnancy and after birth. If prolactin levels are higher than normal, it often means there is a type of tumor of the pituitary gland that makes the gland produce too much prolactin. This test is most often used to diagnose a prolactinoma, to find the cause of a woman’s menstrual irregularities and/or infertility, and to determine the reason for a man’s low sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction.
