How important is prolactin? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hello everyone, I just got my test results back and everything seems to be good, although I'm slightly concerned that my prolactin is too low, it's at 9ng/mL.

I looked up prolactin online and it seems it regulates breast growth and pregnancy, could low prolactin levels slow my breast growth?

My levels are to high. That's probably way worse then to low. From my experience it doesn't lead to big bewbs or lactation. Or faster growth, really don't think it affects it.

Heya! Thanks for answering!

I indeed saw online that high levels were not desirable but nothing about low levels, I'll probably ask my doc about it I'm not really that concerned :P

I'm sorry you went through higher levels than expected, that's from CPA if I recall?
