This hormone is produced in the Pituitary glands and is very important for your Reproductive system. It carries various responsibilities such as: producing breast milk in pregnant women, identifying infertility in both men and women, and can distinguish any reproductive problems i.e., erectile dysfunction. See by taking this test, you will be able to understand what your body is producing and at what rate. This will give you a clear insight into both your and your spouse’s Prolactin level, leaving you some direction on what’s next to come.

About the test results, for women, having low levels are considered normal as high results imply that you are producing less Oestrogen which will make it harder for you to conceive. Whereas for men it’s the opposite, demonstrating high levels indicates a loss of libido leading to erectile dysfunction.

Once you receive your test results, contact your GP for further support and guidance on taking the next step. Your local medical professional will be able to provide key support on how to increase your prolactin levels.

How to use

Before completing the test, wash and dry your hands. Start by removing the lid off the blood tube, then use the alcohol wipe provided within the kit to clean the tip of your fingertip. Once the area is cleaned, twist and pull the purple tip off the lancet, center the tip on your finger, and push done. This will ensure the fingertip is pricked and blood will start to release from that area. Apply some pressure to ensure a certain amount of blood is released from the finger into the tube. Continue to do it until you meet the line on the tube.

Once that’s done, push the cap back on the tube to avoid any contamination and apply a plaster to your finger. Place the blood tube back into the box and fill out any details on the form provided. Then all you must do is send it off with the pre-paid envelope and wait for your results.
