What is an anti-Müllerian hormone test?
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of this hormone in a blood sample to assess ovarian reserve in women and testicular function in men. In women, AMH is produced by the ovaries, which are responsible for egg formation and the production of female hormones. In men, AMH occurs in the testicles. It is a useful tool for diagnosing fertility problems and for making decisions about the appropriate treatment.

What is the Anti-Müllerian Hormone Test used for?
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test is used to gain valuable information about reproductive health and support decision-making in fertility treatments. Here are its main applications:
- Assess ovarian reserve: Determines the number of eggs available in the ovaries and helps assess fertility in women.
- Diagnose fertility problems: Identifies conditions such as premature ovarian failure or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Planning fertility treatments: Provides valuable information for planning procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Assess proximity to menopause: This test can help identify early symptoms of premature menopause (before age 40).
When to do an anti-Müllerian hormone test?
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test is recommended if:
- Ovarian reserve assessment: If information about the number of eggs available is sought, especially if there are fertility concerns or fertility treatment is planned.
- Preparation for fertility treatments: Before starting treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to adjust the dose of medications and maximize ovarian response.
- Diagnosis of hormonal problems: If conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovary-related problems are suspected.
- Assessment of proximity to menopause: If there are signs of premature or early menopause, to check for decreased ovarian reserve.
- Follow-up in patients with hormonal treatments: To monitor the effectiveness of treatments that affect ovarian function.
Is it possible to improve a low anti-Müllerian hormone?
A low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) indicates a lower ovarian reserve, a condition that cannot be reversed. However, strategies can be adopted to improve egg quality and ovarian health, such as: using medications and supplements to improve egg quality, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and considering egg or embryo preservation for future opportunities.
Consulting with a fertility specialist is key to exploring the best options adapted to each case.
