Blood
A prolactin test is typically recommended for women with irregular or absent periods, experiencing unexplained breast milk production, people struggling with infertility (both men and women). It can also be used for men with low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, or decreased libido.
This test requires a blood sample, which is collected from one of our clinic locations across the country. If you require a certificate of your results, you must bring photo ID with you to your clinic appointment.
Clinic Procedure
By selecting a clinic test you’ll be assisted by a nurse or doctor in one of our 100+ sexual health clinics located across the country.
To book this test, simply press the ‘Select This Test’ button above. You’ll then be taken to our booking page where you can choose the best clinic for your needs.
Our clinics are all based in a discreet setting and because many of them are general health clinics, there’s no reason anyone will know that you’re there for a sexual health screening. Just let the receptionist know who you are upon arrival.
The Prolactin test requires a blood and urine sample. The blood sample is collected by a trained nurse or doctor. They’ll take care of you and ensure you’re comfortable, but it will require the use of a needle.
Once you’ve deposited your sample, we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll notify you of your Prolactin test results using our online portal as soon as they’re reported by the laboratory.
