Symptoms of Low AMH, Causes & Treatment: What Expert Says?

Overview of AMH:- 

Granulosa cells of growing follicles produce AMH which is important for ovarian function. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is an important hormone produced by the granulosa cells in follicles within the ovaries. This test is important for women having symptoms of low AMH  as it gives an idea of ovarian reserve- the number of good eggs a woman has left. For women who are trying to conceive, knowing the levels of their AMH is crucial as it can give them an idea of their fertility potential.

At BabySoon Fertility and IVF Centre, we prioritize AMH testing along with other assessment tests. Our reproductive experts make sure to analyze AMH levels with other hormonal tests and have personalized treatment options. Early Identification of symptoms of low AMH helps women to take necessary steps at an early age which can be beneficial in achieving their dream to become a mother.

What is Low AMH:- 

In women, having a low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is cause for concern as it signifies diminished ovarian reserve and can make it difficult to conceive. To manage the fertility issues driven by low AMH, it is very important to understand the causes, symptoms of low AMH & treatment available.

At BabySoon Fertility and IVF Centre in Delhi, we have a team of experienced professionals who offer evaluations and numerous treatments specific to women’s needs. We assess and discuss the details of low AMH and what to expect out of treatment.

As mentioned above, Anti Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is the major marker of ovarian reserve that represents the availability of good eggs. Low AMH levels can be a matter of big concern, as symptoms of low AMH can be harmful to a woman’s health such as irregular menstruation, difficulty in conceiving, and many more. With age, AMH levels decline naturally. Therefore it is important to keep an eye on your AMH level if you are above 30.
