What is low AMH?

• AMH decreases with age because a woman's ovarian
  reserve decreases with age.
• Decreased ovarian reserve can lead to
  infertility.
• Critically low values ??also indicate a poor
  response to ART.
• If a woman's AMH value is found to be low on
  initial screening, she should consider seeking
  treatment immediately.
• A low AMH indicates that a woman's ovarian
  reserve is rapidly deteriorating and she should
  seek fertility treatment as soon as possible if
  she is trying to conceive.

• AMH reference range should be between 2.20 and
  6.80 ng/ml.
• The range varies depending on the equipment and
  test methods used in each laboratory.
• However, patient age is an important factor in
  predicting outcomes, as low AMH does not always
  indicate low ART success in women younger than 35
  years.
• In addition, factors such as imaging modalities
  and clinical laboratory findings should be
  considered.

Does AMH deficiency affect fertility?

• Low AMH levels are not a cause of infertility
  Rather, it indicates low ovarian reserve.
• This means that the number of eggs that can
  develop in the ovaries is limited, and the
  chances of releasing and fertilizing a mature,
  good-quality egg each month are reduced.
• Also, the quality of eggs deteriorates with age.
• As a result, egg abnormalities increase the
  chances of early miscarriage.

Low AMH symptoms

• There are no specific low AMH symptoms that
  indicate a woman has low AMH.
• However, if a woman has irregular periods or
  premature menopause, her AMH can be tested
  through a blood test.

7
Causes of Low AMH

• The number of follicles developing in the ovary
  determines the AMH level.
• However, when considering the causes of low AMH
  levels, a woman's age is important.
• When a woman is in her mid-30s, her ovarian
  reserve begins to decrease, and when she is 40
  years old or older, it decreases even more.

8
Some factors that contribute to low AMH include

• Hormonal imbalance with age
• Genetic causes
• Cancer treatment for endometriosis
• Ovarian autoimmune disease
• Other environmental issues

9
Low AMH treatment

• There is no cure for low AMH, but there are ways
  to improve AMH before a woman considers ART, to
  improve egg quantity and quality before IVF
  treatment.
• Natural low AMH fertility treatment options may
  be suggested to improve AMH values ??to enhance
  ovarian response during stimulation.

10
Natural treatments for low AMH include

• Yoga and regular exercise
• Acupuncture
• Eating a balanced diet
• DHEA supplements. DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
  is a hormone that increases egg quantity and
  quality.
