High Prolactin Levels

Interesting to note:

I had a breast exam done for my last physical, and had blood drawn that same day. The results came back as being high in prolactin. I then had a second draw 3 weeks later, and my levels were normal.

Seems that the breast exam was enough to trigger the hormone to be released, and gave a false reading. Keep this in mind if anyone is fondling your breasts before taking your blood. ;-)
