Check prolactin during ovulation

Prolactin is a hormone secreted primarily by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to promote breast development and maintain female sexual desire. However, in some special cases, prolactin levels may increase, causing women to experience a series of symptoms, such as headaches, insomnia, decreased sexual desire, etc. These symptoms may affect a woman's quality of life, so it is very important for this group of women to check prolactin during ovulation.

So, how to check prolactin? Generally speaking, doctors will ask women to do ovulation tests. This test can assess prolactin levels by taking a woman's temperature and doing a blood test. Generally speaking, during ovulation, a woman's body temperature will rise by 0.5 to 1 degree, which is mainly due to the effect of prolactin. At the same time, blood tests can also detect prolactin levels, which is more accurate.

In addition to ovulation tests, women can also undergo other methods to test prolactin levels. For example, prolactin levels can be detected by measuring a woman's mammogram. This method can detect whether a woman has breast development problems and whether there are symptoms caused by elevated prolactin.
