  • Prolactin stimulates breasts to develop and make milk after childbirth. (cancer.ca)
  • Women's boobs are made of excess fat, breast, glands (alveoli) and a system of ducts through which milk can pass from glands to the erect nipples. (bloggersbaba.com)
  • Prolactin does so much more than stimulating milk production - it boosts immunity, combats stress, and shields the brain. (selfhacked.com)
  • This test is highly advised if you have irregular menstrual cycles, problems with fertility, unexplained milk production in people who aren't breastfeeding, or symptoms linked to high or low prolactin levels. (birlafertility.com)
