Pooled Prolactin Test
About Pooled Prolactin Test
The pooled prolactin test is a specialised hormone blood test used to accurately assess prolactin levels by analysing multiple blood samples collected at specific intervals. This pooled approach helps minimise temporary fluctuations caused by stress or time-related hormonal variation.
The test is commonly advised to evaluate hormonal imbalance, infertility, menstrual irregularities, and suspected pituitary gland disorders. Results from the pooled prolactin test support doctors in making informed clinical decisions related to endocrine and reproductive health.
Conditions Evaluated Using Pooled Prolactin Test
- Hyperprolactinaemia (elevated prolactin levels)
- Pituitary gland tumours
- Infertility in men and women
- Galactorrhoea (unexpected breast milk production)
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
