Prolactin Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: PRL
Included
About the Test
Prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, best known for supporting milk production after childbirth. Outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, a raised level can disturb periods, fertility and sexual function, and is sometimes linked to a small pituitary growth. Doctors order it to investigate menstrual problems, unexplained breast milk production, fertility concerns or, in men, low libido. Levels also rise briefly with stress.
What is it? A blood test measuring prolactin (PRL), the pituitary hormone that stimulates breast milk production and influences reproductive function.

Prolactin test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Prolactin test?
- Investigate irregular periods, absent periods or difficulty conceiving
- Look into unexpected breast milk production or, in men, reduced libido and fertility
- Help assess a suspected pituitary cause when a doctor recommends it
How to prepare for the Prolactin test
No fasting is required. Because stress and recent physical activity can raise prolactin, it is best to be rested and calm before the draw; your doctor may prefer a morning sample a few hours after waking.
Understanding your Prolactin results
A mildly raised level can follow stress or medication, while a markedly high level may point to a pituitary cause and warrants further assessment; low levels are less commonly significant. Interpretation depends on your symptoms and situation, so review the result with a doctor. Reports are ready in 8 Hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding raise it naturally. Stress, recent exercise, nipple stimulation and certain medications can also lift it, and a persistently high level may reflect a pituitary cause. Your doctor interprets the result in context.
No fasting is needed, but try to arrive rested and unstressed, as anxiety and exertion can temporarily raise prolactin. A calm morning draw is often preferred. Our nurse comes to your home, office or hotel.
Prolactin results are usually ready in 8 Hours. A doctor-reviewed report is delivered to your WhatsApp and email so you can share it with your treating doctor.
In men, a raised prolactin level can contribute to low libido, erectile difficulty and reduced fertility. Doctors may order it when investigating these concerns, alongside other hormone tests as needed.
No. A mild, one-off rise often reflects stress, timing or medication and may settle on a repeat sample. A persistently high level needs further evaluation. Only a doctor can decide what your result means for you.
The prolactin test is 50 AED, self-pay, and we do not process insurance claims. Home collection can be booked for the same morning or next day across Dubai.
