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

The anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test is a blood test that measures the level of anti-müllerian hormone in your body. In women, AMH is produced by small follicles in the ovaries and is an important marker of ovarian reserve, which refers to the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries. The test is commonly recommended as part of a fertility evaluation to estimate how the ovaries may respond to fertility treatments such as IVF. However, it does not measure egg quality or predict your chances of getting pregnant naturally. The AMH blood test may also help assess conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome or PMOS), a low egg reserve, and whether menopause may be approaching. In some cases, it is also used to monitor certain ovarian tumours.

In males, AMH is produced by the testes and plays an important role in reproductive development before birth. The test may be used in infants and children to evaluate undescended testicles or certain disorders affecting reproductive development.

No special preparation, such as fasting, is usually required for an AMH test. Your doctor will interpret the results along with your age, symptoms, medical history, reproductive organs, and other test findings.

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

• Women planning a pregnancy or undergoing fertility treatment - To assess ovarian reserve (the number of eggs remaining) and estimate how the ovaries may respond to fertility treatments such as IVF.
• Women with symptoms of PCOS (PMOS) - An AMH test may be advised if you have 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 - The test may help evaluate whether the number of eggs in the ovaries is lower than expected for your age.
• Women planning pregnancy in their late 30s or later - An AMH test may help assess ovarian reserve and support fertility counselling.
• Women being treated for certain ovarian tumours such as granulosa cell tumour - To monitor the effectiveness of treatment and detect recurrence.
• Male infants with undescended testicles - To determine whether healthy testicular tissue is present.
• Babies with differences in reproductive development - Along with other investigations, may help identify the underlying cause.

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 if 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

• No fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• The test can be done on any day of the menstrual cycle.
• Inform your doctor about any medicines or fertility treatments you are taking, as they may influence the interpretation of your results.

What to Expect During the Blood Collection

• A trained phlebotomist will visit your home at the scheduled time for sample collection.
• You will be seated comfortably while a suitable vein, usually near the inner elbow, is identified and cleaned with antiseptic.
• A sterile needle will be used to collect a small blood sample, and you may feel a brief pinching sensation.
• Once the sample is collected, the needle will be removed, gentle pressure will be applied, and a small bandage will be placed over the site.
• The entire procedure is quick and typically takes only a few minutes.

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

• You may feel a mild throbbing pain which will pass in a few minutes. The sample will then be sent to a lab to be analysed. Your test results should be available for download within a few hours on the PharmEasy platform.

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)

The table below presents typical AMH test normal range values based on age groups:

• 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

There is minimal risk involved with having blood taken for the AMH test. Blood vessels may vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.

Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

• Fainting or feeling light-headed
• Multiple punctures to locate veins
• Bleeding
• Infection

Understanding AMH Test Limitations

• The AMH test estimates the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries (ovarian reserve) but it does not assess egg quality, fertilisation, implantation, your ability to get pregnant naturally or having a successful pregnancy.
• The test cannot diagnose infertility or PCOS on its own and should be interpreted along with your symptoms, medical history, and other tests.
• AMH levels may help estimate ovarian reserve, but they cannot accurately predict when menopause will occur.

Several factors contribute to the fluctuation in the cost of an AMH test. In Chennai, the usual price of an AMH test on PharmEasy is around INR 1099, though it may vary slightly depending on offers and location.
