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

The anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test is a blood test used to assess a woman’s ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs remaining in her ovaries. AMH is a hormone produced by small follicles in the ovaries, and its levels naturally decline with age as the egg supply diminishes over time. Because AMH levels remain fairly stable throughout the menstrual cycle, this test offers a reliable idea of fertility potential at any given time, unlike other hormone markers that fluctuate monthly. The AMH test is commonly recommended for women planning pregnancy, especially those who wish to understand their fertility timeline or are considering delaying conception. It is also a key investigation for women preparing for assisted reproductive procedures such as IVF, as it helps doctors predict how the ovaries are likely to respond to fertility medications. The test also aids in diagnosing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS; or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) and premature ovarian insufficiency. By measuring AMH levels, women gain valuable insight into their reproductive health, enabling timely, informed decisions about family planning and fertility treatment options. In men and other people with testes, AMH testing may help evaluate testicular function. It is primarily used in infants and children to assess undescended testicles or differences in reproductive development.

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

• Women planning pregnancy - To assess ovarian reserve and understand their current fertility potential, especially if planning to conceive later in life.
• Women undergoing fertility evaluation - To identify the underlying cause of infertility or difficulty conceiving.
• Women preparing for IVF or other ART procedures - To help doctors predict ovarian response to fertility medications and plan treatment protocols accordingly.
• Women with symptoms of PCOS - Such as irregular or missed periods, excess facial/body hair, acne, or unexplained weight gain, as AMH levels are often elevated in PCOS due to a higher number of small follicles.
• Women approaching or experiencing early menopause symptoms - To assess remaining ovarian reserve and guide family planning decisions.
• Women undergoing cancer treatment - To evaluate the impact of chemotherapy or radiation on ovarian function, particularly before fertility-preservation procedures.
• Infants, children, and adults with suspected differences in reproductive development - AMH testing helps evaluate testicular function, particularly in cases involving ambiguous genitalia, undescended testes, or other suspected disorders of sexual development, often alongside 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 adults 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

• Generally, fasting is not necessary for this test. However, if it’s being done along with other blood tests that require fasting, you may be advised to fast overnight.
• Inform your doctor about all medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements you are taking, especially hormonal contraceptives or fertility medications.
• The AMH test can be performed at any time of the day and on any day of your menstrual cycle.

What to Expect During the Blood Collection

• The AMH test is a quick procedure that typically takes only a few minutes. During sample collection, a trained phlebotomist cleans the skin and draws a small blood sample from a vein, usually in the arm, using a sterile needle.
• A slight pain or a sting may be felt when the needle is inserted.

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

• Mild throbbing at the site may be felt after the blood is drawn.
• If you feel dizzy, you may lie down for a while.
• Once the blood sample is collected, it is sent to a laboratory for analysis, where your blood is tested for AMH levels.

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

Usually, only mild discomfort is experienced during blood sample collection. You should contact your doctor if:

• There is continuous bleeding from the blood draw site despite applying gentle pressure.
• Significant redness, swelling, warmth, or persistent pain develops around the blood draw site.
• You feel faint for a long time after the blood sample collection.

Understanding AMH Test Limitations

• AMH indicates egg quantity, not egg quality, so a normal level does not guarantee natural conception or IVF success.
• Low AMH suggests reduced ovarian reserve but cannot pinpoint when menopause will occur.
• Birth control pills or patches may temporarily lower AMH levels, affecting result interpretation.
• Results should be interpreted alongside other findings, such as antral follicle count (AFC) and FSH levels.

Due to several factors, the cost of an AMH test may vary. In Kolkata, the standard price of an AMH test on PharmEasy is around INR 1099, though it may vary slightly depending on offers and location. Consider checking and comparing AMH test prices in major cities across India.
