Significance of AMH inspection
AMH (anti M ü ller hormone) is a hormone produced by the female ovary, which can predict the status of female reproductive function at an early stage. The significance of AMH inspection is very important. It can provide the following information:
1. Prediction of ovarian reserve and fertility
AMH examination can evaluate the quantity and quality of follicles in women's ovaries, thus indirectly reflecting women's fertility. Follicles are small follicles in the female ovary. Each follicle contains an egg. A higher level of AMH means more ovarian reserves and stronger fertility; The lower level of AMH may mean less ovarian reserve and poor fertility. Through AMH examination, doctors can find possible fertility problems as soon as possible and help women take corresponding measures.
2. Evaluate the indications of ovulation induction therapy
Ovulation induction therapy is a common assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for women with ovarian insufficiency or abnormal ovulation. Through AMH examination, doctors can evaluate whether women are suitable for ovulation induction treatment. If the AMH level is high, it indicates that the ovarian reserve is sufficient, and the response to ovulation induction therapy may be better. On the contrary, if the level of AMH is low, it may be necessary to adopt other assisted reproductive technologies or adjust the treatment scheme.
3. Assess ovarian function decline and menopause
As women grow older, their ovarian function gradually declines, and their reproductive capacity will also decline. AMH examination can assess the decline of female ovarian function. Generally, with the approaching of menopause, the level of AMH will gradually decline. Through AMH examination, doctors can help women understand the status of ovarian function, predict the time of menopause, and prepare for menopause syndrome in advance.
4. Assist in judging the nature of ovarian tumor
Ovarian tumor is one of the most common gynecological tumors in women, which can be divided into benign and malignant. Through AMH examination, doctors can help judge the nature of ovarian tumors. Some studies have shown that the AMH level of patients with benign tumors is usually high, while that of patients with malignant tumors is usually low. This is of great significance for determining the treatment plan and evaluating the prognosis.
Applicable scope of AMH inspection
AMH inspection is widely applicable, including but not limited to the following situations:
1. Screening for fertility problems
For women with family planning, AMH examination can be used as a basic examination for screening fertility problems. By knowing their ovarian reserve and fertility, women can take appropriate measures as soon as possible, including timely seeking help from doctors, adjusting their lifestyle, etc., to protect their fertility.
2. Assisted fertility treatment
For women with ovarian insufficiency or abnormal ovulation, AMH examination can help determine whether it is suitable for ovulation induction treatment. In addition, AMH can also be used to guide the treatment program of assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and egg freezing.
3. Menopause management
When women enter menopause, a series of changes will take place in their bodies, including the cessation of menstruation, hot flashes, etc. Through AMH examination, women can understand their own menopause situation and take corresponding measures, such as maintaining healthy living habits, hormone replacement therapy, etc., to effectively alleviate menopause symptoms.
4. Auxiliary diagnosis of ovarian tumor
For women suspected of having ovarian tumors, AMH examination can assist in judging the nature of tumors and provide more accurate treatment plans and prognosis evaluation for patients. Especially for young women, AMH examination is of great significance in judging the nature of tumors.
Summary
As an important means to understand women's reproductive function and ovarian health, AMH examination has many meanings, such as predicting ovarian reserve and fertility, evaluating the indications of ovulation induction therapy, evaluating ovarian function decline and menopause, and assisting in judging the nature of ovarian tumors. It has a wide range of applications, including fertility screening, assisted fertility treatment, menopause management, and assisted diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Through AMH inspection, women can know their fertility and health status as early as possible, and take appropriate measures to protect their reproductive health.
