âHyperâ ( meaning over, super, or excess) or in this case Hyperprolactinemia â meaning one has an excess of prolactin or high prolactin levels. Hyperprolactinemia is a condition where non-pregnant women (or men) have too much or an excess of prolactin in their bodies.
A prolactin test measures the level of the hormone prolactin, which is made by the pituitary gland, in your blood. Pregnant women have high levels of prolactin, which helps make breast milk. During pregnancy, prolactin levels increase by 10 to 20 times. A normal or low prolactin level does not always mean there is no pituitary tumor. 2  An MRI test may be done if a pituitary tumor is suspected. 3  High levels of prolactin may mean that the pituitary gland is making excess prolactin for unknown reasons (idiopathic hyperprolactinemia).
