Prolactin Testing - Ejaculation's Impact

[AlwaysCold]

Do you have to consider last time for ejaculation before going in for a prolactin test, or does it not matter?

 

[CoastWatcher]

As Dr. Saya has noted, one should refrain from ejaculating for 48 hours prior to a prolactin test.

I had trouble find this info and Life Extension didnt specify either when I bought the test, it said "no special instructions". You are correct though, Adam at Defy confirmed this with me today.

In addition to impacting prolactin levels, ejaculation will also raise psa values for a period of time.
