Low AMH – Understanding and Managing Low Ovarian Reserve
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is an important marker that reflects a woman’s ovarian reserve — the number and quality of eggs available in her ovaries. Low AMH levels indicate a reduced egg reserve, which can make natural conception more challenging. At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, Dr. Aishwarya Yerram specializes in helping women with low AMH improve their fertility prospects with advanced treatments.
What Does Low AMH Mean?
AMH levels naturally decline with age, but a significantly low AMH may point to:
Diminished ovarian reserve
Early ovarian aging
Premature ovarian failure
Low AMH doesn’t mean pregnancy is impossible — but it may require advanced fertility treatments to improve the chances of success.
Causes of Low AMH
Several factors can contribute to low AMH levels, including:
Age: A natural decline in egg reserve after 35
Genetic factors
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (may alter AMH levels)
Previous ovarian surgeries
Chemotherapy or radiation
Lifestyle factors: Smoking, obesity, and poor diet
Symptoms of Low AMH
Low AMH often doesn’t show obvious symptoms, but some signs may include:
Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
Difficulty conceiving
Poor response to ovarian stimulation during fertility treatments
How We Diagnose Low AMH
A simple blood test measures AMH levels to evaluate ovarian reserve. This test is often combined with:
Antral Follicle Count (AFC): An ultrasound to check the number of eggs in the ovaries.
Hormonal tests: To assess reproductive health.
Treatment Options for Low AMH
At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, we create personalized treatment plans, which may include:
Ovulation stimulation using specialized medications.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with advanced protocols for low responders.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) for enhanced fertilization success.
Ovarian rejuvenation therapies to improve egg quality and function.
Egg donation programs when natural conception options are limited.
Can Women with Low AMH Conceive?
Yes, women with low AMH can still achieve pregnancy with the right treatment approach. While natural conception may be difficult, IVF and other advanced fertility techniques significantly improve the chances.
