Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test at MedEx Neo Clinic, Kathmandu

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells in ovarian follicles. It plays a crucial role in the development and function of female reproductive organs by regulating follicle growth and ovarian reserve. Measuring AMH levels provides valuable insights into a woman’s fertility status and ovarian health.

Function of AMH:

AMH helps assess the remaining egg supply in the ovaries, also known as ovarian reserve. Higher AMH levels typically indicate a greater number of remaining eggs, while lower levels suggest diminished ovarian reserve. This hormone remains relatively stable throughout the menstrual cycle, making it a reliable marker for fertility evaluation.

Why AMH Testing is Important:

• Fertility Assessment: AMH testing helps in evaluating a woman’s fertility potential, assisting in family planning or infertility treatments like IVF.
• Ovarian Reserve Monitoring: It guides decisions regarding timing and approach for fertility preservation or assisted reproductive technologies.
• Diagnosing Ovarian Disorders: Abnormal AMH levels can indicate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which usually causes elevated AMH, or premature ovarian insufficiency, associated with low AMH levels.
• Predicting Menopause: AMH levels can help predict the onset of menopause and overall reproductive lifespan.

Clinical Significance:

At MedEx Neo Clinic in Kathmandu, AMH testing is performed to assist women experiencing fertility challenges, irregular menstrual cycles, or those considering fertility preservation. The test is minimally invasive and requires a simple blood sample. Results help doctors personalize treatment plans, enhancing the chances of successful conception or timely intervention.

Interpretation of AMH Results:

• High AMH: May suggest PCOS or high ovarian reserve, potentially linked to irregular ovulation.
• Normal AMH: Indicates a healthy ovarian reserve appropriate for the woman’s age.
• Low AMH: Suggests diminished ovarian reserve, which may affect fertility and response to fertility treatments.

When to Get Tested:

AMH can be measured at any time during the menstrual cycle, making it convenient for patients. Women planning pregnancy, undergoing fertility treatments, or experiencing menstrual irregularities benefit from this test.
