Low AMH

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles, and its levels are often used as a marker of ovarian reserve, indicating the quantity of a woman's remaining eggs. Low AMH levels are associated with a decreased ovarian reserve, which may impact fertility.

Here are some key points about low AMH:

• Ovarian Reserve:
  AMH is produced by small follicles in the ovaries. Low AMH levels suggest a reduced number of these small follicles, which may indicate a lower ovarian reserve.
• Age and Fertility:
  AMH levels tend to naturally decrease with age. Low AMH is more common in women who are older, but it can also occur in younger women.
• Implications for Fertility:
  While low AMH may be an indicator of diminished ovarian reserve, it doesn't provide information about the quality of the remaining eggs. Some women with low AMH levels can still conceive naturally, while others may face challenges.
• Causes of Low AMH:
  Low AMH can be influenced by various factors, including age, genetics, certain medical conditions, previous ovarian surgery, and exposure to certain chemotherapy or radiation treatments.
• Fertility Treatment Options:
  Fertility specialists may recommend specific treatments based on individual circumstances. These may include lifestyle changes, ovulation induction with medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or more advanced procedures like IVF.
