An anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in a blood sample.
In males, AMH is made by the testicles (or testes), which are glands that make sperm and male hormones.
In females, the ovaries make AMH. The ovaries are glands where eggs form and female hormones are made.

AMH plays different roles in males and females and normal levels of AMH vary with your sex and your age. Measuring AMH levels can provide information about a variety of reproductive health condition.
In healthy females of childbearing age, higher levels of AMH mean that the ovaries have a larger supply of eggs.

As females age, the number of eggs decreases, which causes AMH levels to decrease.
At menopause, no eggs are left, and AMH levels drop to zero.
Other names: AMH hormone test, müllerian-inhibiting hormone, MIH, müllerian inhibiting factor, MIF, müllerian-inhibiting substance, MIS.


What is it used for?
AMH tests are mainly used with other tests to make decisions about treating female infertility (not being able to get pregnant). If you're having infertility treatment, AMH testing can:

Check how many eggs you have left in your ovaries. This is called your "ovarian reserve." It's normal for your ovarian reserve to decrease with age. An AMH test can tell you the size of your ovarian reserve, but it can't tell you about the health of your eggs or predict whether you'll be able to get pregnant.

Find out if you're getting close to menopause or have already begun menopause. As you approach menopause your egg supply shrinks and AMH levels drop. AMH levels can be used to check for premature menopause (before age 40) and early menopause (before age 45). But an AMH test can't predict when you'll actually reach menopause. The average age of menopause is 52.

Help diagnose and monitor problems with the ovaries that cause high AMH levels.
These include:

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can cause infertility
  • Certain types of ovarian cancer
  • Normal range of AMH is 1to 3 ng/ml .decline naturally with age .
  • Management can be done by medicine and panchkarma.
