    _____________________________________________
    This is a blood test that measures the amount of the hormone prolactin. Serum prolactin is usually measured as part of the diagnostic work-up of pituitary tumors, menstrual irregularities, infertility, impotence, and galactorrhea (breast milk production).

    Prolactin is a protein hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin stimulates breast development and milk production in females. There is no known normal function of prolactin in males.
