A prolactin test measures the amount of the hormone prolactin in your blood. High prolactin levels inhibit secretion of FSH. Therefore, if your prolactin levels are high, your ovulation may be suppressed. This is why women who are breastfeeding (and thus have high levels of prolactin) usually donât become pregnant.
The simple answer to this is no. An elevated PSA number does not always indicate a man has prostate cancer. The PSA test is a blood test used to measure a substance in the blood called prostate specific antigen. It is often the first step in screening for prostate cancer along with the second screening test which is a digital rectal exam (DRE).
