Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test In Bengaluru - Price & Details

The anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test is a simple blood test that helps assess reproductive health by measuring the level of AMH in the blood. In women, this hormone is released by the small follicles in the ovaries and provides an estimate of ovarian reserve, or the approximate number of eggs remaining. As a result, the test is widely used during fertility assessments to evaluate how the ovaries may respond to treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). However, AMH levels cannot determine egg quality or accurately predict natural fertility or the likelihood of pregnancy.

Doctors may also recommend the AMH test to support the evaluation of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), reduced ovarian reserve, and the transition to menopause. It can also be used to monitor certain ovarian tumours.

In males, AMH is produced by the testes and is important for normal reproductive development before birth. In infants and children, the test may help identify undescended testicles or assist in the evaluation of certain disorders affecting reproductive development. The AMH test procedure is relatively safe and quick, requires only a blood sample and usually does not require fasting. The results should always be interpreted by your doctor along with your age, symptoms, medical history, and other relevant test findings.

Your doctor may recommend an anti-müllerian hormone test in the following situations:

• Women planning to get pregnant or fertility treatment - To determine the ovarian reserve (the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries) and understand how the ovaries may respond to fertility treatments such as IVF.
• Women with symptoms of PCOS (PMOS) - If you have symptoms such as irregular or missed periods, acne, excessive facial or body hair, hair thinning on the scalp, or unexplained weight gain.
• Women with suspected low ovarian reserve or early menopause - To assess whether the ovarian reserve is lower than expected for your age.
• Women planning pregnancy in their late 30s or later - To evaluate ovarian reserve and support fertility planning or counselling.
• Women being treated for certain ovarian tumours, such as granulosa cell tumours - To monitor the response to treatment and detect recurrence.
• Male infants with undescended testicles - To determine whether healthy testicular tissue is present.
• Babies with differences in reproductive development - To help identify the underlying cause when used along with other investigations.

Note - The need for an AMH test depends on your symptoms, reproductive organs, age, and medical history. Your doctor will recommend the test if it is appropriate for your clinical condition.

An AMH test is not a standalone diagnostic test, but it can help your doctor evaluate or monitor the following conditions:

• Reduced ovarian reserve - Helps assess whether the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries is lower than expected for your age and predict how the ovaries may respond to fertility treatments such as IVF.
• PCOS/PMOS - High AMH levels may support the diagnosis along with symptoms and other tests.
• Menopause or early menopause - Low AMH levels may suggest that menopause is approaching or has already occurred.
• Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) - Before IVF, an AMH test helps predict the risk of OHSS, which is a medical emergency, and allows your doctor to adjust the fertility medication dose to improve safety.
• Granulosa cell tumour of the ovary - AMH may be used to monitor treatment response and detect recurrence.
• Girls and young women receiving chemotherapy for cancer - To assess the effect of certain cancer treatments on ovarian reserve and future fertility.
• Undescended testicles in male infants - The test helps determine whether healthy testicular tissue is present.
• Certain disorders of reproductive development - In infants, children, and men with differences in reproductive development, AMH testing may help identify the underlying cause along with other investigations.

Note - The diagnosis depends on your symptoms, reproductive organs, age, and medical history, and should only be done by a medical practitioner.

What to Expect Before the AMH Test

• If the test is performed alone, then fasting is generally not necessary. If it is done together with other tests, fasting may be required.
• The test can be done at any time of the day and on any day of your menstrual cycle.
• Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements that you are taking and underlying medical conditions that you may have. Also, inform them if you are undergoing any fertility treatments.

What to Expect During the Blood Collection

• A trained phlebotomist will clean the skin with antiseptic and collect a small blood sample from a vein in the arm using a sterile needle.
• The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and may cause mild discomfort or a slight pinching sensation.

What to Expect After the Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test

• Mild throbbing at the site may be felt after the blood is drawn. You may feel light-headed, which will pass in a few moments.
• Once the blood sample is collected, it is sent to a laboratory for analysis, where your AMH levels are measured. Once the report is ready, you can access it on PharmEasy's online portal.

Note - If you notice anything unusual at the puncture site, such as persistent bleeding, a rash, or pain, consult your healthcare provider.

This test measures a single key parameter related to reproductive health:

• Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH)

• There may be variation in AMH results across different laboratories due to differences in testing methods and reference ranges. When comparing AMH levels over time, results from the same laboratory may provide better consistency, as inter-laboratory differences can affect comparability.

Your doctor will interpret your results based on your symptoms, reproductive organs, age, and medical history.

Potential Risks and Complications

• The AMH test is generally safe, with minimal risk.
• Mild pain, slight bleeding, or bruising may occur at the blood draw site.
• Dizziness or light-headedness may occur sometimes, which will pass in a few minutes. You may lie down until you feel better.
• Occasionally, vein access may be difficult or infection may occur.
• Avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous exercise for at least 4 to 6 hours following the test.

Understanding AMH Test Limitations

• Although the AMH test provides an estimate of the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries, it cannot assess egg quality, fertility, or the chances of a successful pregnancy.
• For fertility and PCOS assessment, the results of the AMH test must be interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other investigations.
• While assessing menopause, the AMH levels provide an estimate of ovarian reserve, but they cannot determine when menopause will start.

Due to multiple factors, the price of an AMH test may fluctuate. In Bengaluru, the standard rate of an AMH test on PharmEasy is around INR 1099, though it may vary slightly depending on offers and location. You can also explore and compare AMH test prices in major cities across India.
