About this service

The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test is a medical test that measures the level of anti-Müllerian hormone in a woman's blood, which is primarily produced by follicle cells in the ovaries. This test is mainly used to assess ovarian reserve, which is the total number of eggs available to a woman. AMH levels are an important indicator of a woman's fertility, as high levels suggest a good ovarian reserve, while low levels indicate a potential decrease in fertility. This information can help doctors guide treatment options for women experiencing difficulty conceiving or those planning to delay pregnancy. It is recommended to conduct this test during a specific period of the menstrual cycle, and it is generally considered a safe and quick test with results available within a few days.

Purpose Test

Ovarian Reserve: AMH serves as an indicator of the number of eggs available in the ovaries. High AMH levels indicate a good reserve, while low levels indicate a reduced number of eggs.
Fertility Prediction: The test helps assess a woman’s ability to conceive. It is especially used for women planning pregnancy or experiencing fertility challenges.
Diagnosis of Certain Medical Conditions: AMH results can assist in diagnosing conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endocrine disorders.
Guiding Treatment Options: Helps doctors make decisions regarding fertility treatments, such as IVF or hormonal therapy, based on AMH levels.

Recommended groups

Women Planning Pregnancy: To help assess ovarian reserve and their ability to conceive.
Women Experiencing Fertility Issues: To identify potential causes of infertility and guide treatment options.
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): The test can help evaluate ovarian health.
Women Who Have Undergone Cancer Treatment: To monitor the impact of treatments (such as chemotherapy or radiation) on ovarian reserve.

Family History of Fertility Issues: If similar cases exist in the family, it may indicate the need for testing.
Previous Cancer Treatment: Women who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation may need to monitor ovarian reserve.
Advanced Age: Women over 30 may want to assess ovarian reserve, especially if planning pregnancy later.
Symptoms of Early Menopause: Such as hot flashes, mood changes, or weight fluctuations, particularly if occurring before age 40.

Normal Levels

Women of Reproductive Age (18 to 35 years): Normal levels: 1.5 to 4.0 ng/mL.
Women in Their Mid-30s to 40s: Normal levels: 1.0 to 2.5 ng/mL.
Women Over 40: Normal levels: below 1.0 ng/mL, with levels below 0.5 ng/mL indicating low ovarian reserve.
High (Above 4.0 ng/mL): May indicate good ovarian reserve or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Normal (Between 1.0 and 4.0 ng/mL): Indicates adequate ovarian reserve.
Low (Below 1.0 ng/mL): May indicate reduced ovarian reserve, potentially affecting fertility.
