• Prolactin is primarily recognized for inducing lactation, yet its broader roles are still not fully elucidated.
• Assessment of prolactin levels involves understanding its secretion by pituitary lactotrophs within the endocrine system.
• Implications of prolactin disturbances could guide gynecological practices and improve patient health management.
