The level of sex hormones is mainly determined by drawing blood. It is generally required that the examiner does not take hormones within 3 months, rests for at least 10 minutes before drawing blood, and avoids strenuous exercise.
Because prolactin is released in pulses, prolactin levels vary greatly in different time periods, so you should check around 10 in the morning when you are neither hungry nor full. In addition, do not do mammary gland examination before blood drawing, so as not to cause prolactin levels to increase due to mammary gland stimulation.
Stress can also cause prolactin to rise, so try to relax during the test so as not to affect your performance.
