Hello
Thanks for query .

I have gone through our threads of previous discussion on your issues of Erectile Dysfunction .

In view of the issue that you have been facing , though it is most likely to be Psychogenic in nature but not responding to drugs like Viagra or Cialis I would suggest you to get Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis done .This will help to establish or rule out Vasculogenic cause (Either Arterial insufficiency or Venous leak) as a cause for your problem of ED .

Is prolactin considered high ?

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (7 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Marginal high levels of Prolactin in males has no significance .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

Prolactin is a hormone secreted by Pituitary gland in brain and is of importance in females when there is secretion of milk from breasts without pregnancy or when woman is not lactating .It is important in males only when one is getting investigated for cause of infertility in males .Marginal high levels are normal and one can have high levels if the blood sample for test is collected early in the morning .

Marginal High levels 21 ng in your case has no significance and has no relation to your problem of Erectile Dysfunction .
