How important is prolactin?

Hello everyone, I just got my test results back and everything seems to be good, although I’m slightly concerned that my prolactin is too low, it’s at 9ng/mL.

I looked up prolactin online and it seems it regulates breast growth and pregnancy, could low prolactin levels slow my breast growth?

Hello! thanks for answering! All my levels seem to be good including Estradiol, Testosterone, LH and FSH (I’m not on prog just yet) I was just scared that my prolactin could slow my breast growth. I dont see it being talked about much so I’ll assume it’s not that important 🤷‍♀️.
