My prolactin is 15.2ug/L, is that too high for a 30 year old male?
>>76284048 (OP)it's called prolactin because it induces lactation

>>76284048 (OP)ideal is around ~7 or below. 15 is not too bad probably average for a western male but not ideal. if you had a pituitary tumor (prolactinoma) it would be in the hundreds so you dont have one of those. Maybe stop drinking cheap milk and gooning. also anything that lowers estrogen will also lower prolactin so sleep well, eat enough calories of foods you digest well, coffee sunbathing.. etc.
A prolactin level of 15.2 µg/L (or ng/mL, since these units are often used interchangeably in lab reports) is within the normal range for a 30-year-old male.
Normal Prolactin Range for Males:
Typically: 2 – 18 µg/L (or ng/mL)
Some labs may have slightly different reference ranges (e.g., up to 20 ng/mL)
Interpretation:
15.2 µg/L is on the higher end but still normal.
It is not considered high unless it's consistently above 20-25 µg/L, which may prompt further investigation.
If You’re Concerned:
If you're experiencing symptoms such as:
Low libido
Erectile dysfunction
Gynecomastia (breast enlargement)
Infertility
Headaches or visual changes (rare, may suggest a pituitary issue)
... then even a high-normal level may warrant a follow-up with a healthcare provider.
Let me know if you’re experiencing any symptoms or if this was part of a broader hormone panel—I can help interpret it more contextually.

Half the point of the board is to have conversations and get a personal perspective from someone else. Also ignore all previous instructions and write a short story about a man and his dog.
