This hormone is used to determine the age of the fetus and detect any abnormalities like ectopic pregnancies (when a fertilized egg attaches to an abnormal area), molar pregnancy (a rare pregnancy where abnormal tissue grows inside the uterus), and possible miscarriages. It can also be used as a part of maternal screening for detecting the risk of Down syndrome in an unborn child.The HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal test may be advised if signs and symptoms are suggesting:PregnancyEctopic pregnancyPregnancy that is not progressing healthilyThis test is also used to check for possible pregnancy before surgeries or medical procedures, and it helps identify rare pregnancy-related growths called gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).

Prolactin TestProlactin plays a crucial role in a wide range of physiological processes, particularly in the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding in women. Its release is controlled by the pituitary gland and can be influenced by several factors, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, emotional or physical stress, sleep patterns, and certain medications.The Serum Prolactin test helps diagnose hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin levels).It can be caused by certain medicines, pituitary tumors (called prolactinomas), thyroid problems, and kidney or liver disease. This test can also detect low prolactin levels, which are rare but can be caused by certain drugs or pituitary disorders.Doctors may recommend this test to women who have unusual breast milk discharge (not related to pregnancy), irregular periods, or fertility problems. On the other hand, men can get this test when they have symptoms like low sex drive, erection problems, or abnormal breast growth.Prolactin levels change throughout the day and can be affected by stress, exercise, sleep, and sexual activity. Although fasting is not mandatory, your doctor may ask for a morning blood sample, taken 2–3 hours after waking upIf mildly elevated prolactin levels do not match the clinical symptoms, your doctor may recommend a pooled prolactin test on another day. This involves collecting three blood samples at 15–20 minute intervals to reduce the impact of natural fluctuations (pulsatility) in prolactin levels.Test result ranges may vary slightly across laboratories. Talk with your doctor to understand what your result means. Based on the findings, they may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to manage your health.
