My wife report shows a prolactin level of 25.18. She did not sleep properly the night before the test. Is this report normal?

Prolactin can be falsely elevated due to stress or poor sleep. 25.18 is mildly raised. Please repeat the serum prolactin test after proper rest for accuracy. Take the test again after sleep to confirm.

I am taking Ayurvedic medicine for scanty periods, along with Esomac 40 (for gastric issues) and Naxdom 500. Today, I noticed mild nipple pain, and on pressing, there was a transparent milky type discharge from both breasts. Could this be a side effect of these medicines? I had a prolactin and thyroid test done on 25th June, and both were normal.

I was diagnosed with PID in a sonography test two weeks ago. Now, I have noticed some white discharge coming from my breast. What does this mean? The sonography was done two days after my period ended.

My report shows that my thyroid TSH is 1.88 and serum prolactin level is 33.70 ng/mL. I am unsure what to do next.
