Description

The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Serum Test measures the level of AMH in the blood, which helps to assess a woman’s ovarian reserve. Ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs a woman has left in her ovaries, which can give doctors an idea of her fertility potential. Women are born with a certain number of eggs, and this number decreases with age. AMH levels are higher when there are more eggs and tend to decrease as the number of eggs goes down. This test can be useful for women who are planning to have children in the future, as it provides information about how many eggs they might have left.

This test is also helpful for other medical reasons. Doctors may use the AMH test to evaluate how a woman might respond to fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Additionally, it can help diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), where AMH levels may be higher than normal, or primary ovarian insufficiency, where AMH levels may be lower than expected for a woman’s age. By understanding AMH levels, doctors can provide better advice and treatment options for women regarding their reproductive health.
