Frequently Asked Questions

What is prolactin?
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that supports reproductive health. It’s best known for its role in stimulating milk production during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when levels naturally rise. Prolactin also influences the menstrual cycle, and elevated levels can affect the balance of other key reproductive hormones, such as follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, oestrogen and testosterone.
How does prolactin affect my hair loss?
High levels of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, can disrupt the balance of other hormones, including estrogen and testosterone, which play a role in hair growth. When this hormonal balance is affected, it may contribute to hair thinning or increased hair shedding in some individuals.
