The normal range for prolactin is 4-30 ng/ml in females and 4-23 ng/mL in males. However, they also vary by age and time of day and so should be interpreted in the complete clinical scenario. == == Simply put, prolactin is a hormone secreted by the body that causes lactation, or the "let down" reflex in women who are nursing so that milk is available to the baby. Prolactin, like other hormones, also has other effects on the body, but lactation is the primary effect. While this is a female response, both male and female have prolactin in their bodies.
