The quantitative analysis of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) allows for the assessment of ovarian reserve, that is, estimating the number of fertile eggs available in the ovaries, an essential piece of information when planning a pregnancy.
AMH is produced by ovarian follicles, and its levels decrease with age, making this analysis a very useful tool to evaluate fertility and plan motherhood.
In addition to age, factors such as genetic diseases or certain unhealthy lifestyle habits can also reduce ovarian reserve and bring on menopause earlier. After the age of 35, the decline in AMH accelerates, making natural conception more difficult.
