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

The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures AMH levels in the blood to estimate the number of eggs left in the ovaries, called the ovarian reserve. Nowadays, many women plan their first pregnancy at a later age than was the norm earlier. But a woman's ability to get pregnant slowly starts to reduce in her late twenties and drops faster after the age of 35. This happens because the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries reduce with age. This change is different for every woman, and some may find it harder to get pregnant than expected. AMH is a hormone made by small cells in the ovaries that support the development of eggs. AMH levels are low at birth, rise during childhood, are highest in the mid-twenties, and then slowly fall until they become very low at menopause. Because of this, AMH helps doctors estimate how many eggs remain in the ovaries. The AMH test helps doctors understand a woman's chances of getting pregnant and plan treatment such as IVF. It also helps in checking for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), early reduction in egg supply, and some rare ovarian tumours. AMH is also found in males, where it is made in the testes. Its levels stay high in childhood and fall at puberty. AMH levels may also be affected by body weight, long-term use of birth control pills, smoking, and exposure to harmful chemicals. PharmEasy’s anti‑Müllerian hormone test reports are available in about 6 hours to within the day, depending on your specific location in Patna.

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

• Difficulty conceiving and fertility assessment in people with ovaries.
• Planning IVF or other fertility treatments to estimate ovarian response.
• Delaying pregnancy and wanting to understand future fertility potential.
• Irregular periods, acne, excess facial or body hair, scalp hair thinning, or weight gain suggestive of PCOS.
• Suspected low ovarian reserve or early decline in ovarian function.
• Monitoring certain ovarian tumours, such as granulosa cell tumours.
• Evaluation of undescended testes in male infants or children.
• Assessment of differences in reproductive development in infants or children.
• Checking possible impact of chemotherapy or other cancer treatment on future fertility in girls and young women.

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 helps 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.
• Future fertility in women undergoing chemotherapy for cancer - To assess the effect of certain cancer treatments on ovarian reserve and future fertility of girls and young women undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
• 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 - Diagnosis depends on your symptoms, reproductive organs, age, and medical history, and should be done only by a medical practitioner.

What to Expect Before the AMH Test

• No fasting is needed before the AMH test. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• You can take the test at any time of day.
• You can take the AMH test on any day of your menstrual cycle, as AMH levels remain stable throughout the month.
• Tell your doctor all medicines, supplements, hormonal contraceptives, underlying conditions, fertility treatments, and pregnancy status.

What to Expect During the Blood Collection

• You will be asked to sit comfortably while the PharmEasy phlebotomist cleans the inside of your arm with an antiseptic.
• An elastic band will be tied around your upper arm to make the vein easier to find.
• A small needle will be used to collect the blood sample. You may feel a quick prick or mild sting.
• Once the sample is collected, the needle will be removed, gentle pressure will be applied, and a small bandage will be placed over the area.
• If you are afraid of needles or feel dizzy, tell the lab technician before the test. They can help you feel more comfortable.
• Stay relaxed during the blood draw. Looking away from the needle or taking slow, deep breaths may help.

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

• After the blood sample is collected, gentle pressure will be applied, and a small bandage will be placed over the area. Keep the bandage on for 1 to 2 hours or as advised.
• Avoid lifting heavy objects or doing strenuous activity with that arm for the rest of the day to reduce bruising or bleeding.
• Your blood sample will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
• A laboratory expert will review your test report before sharing it.

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 parameter related to reproductive health:

• Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)

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

AMH results may vary across laboratories because of differences in testing methods and reference ranges. When comparing AMH levels over time, results from the same laboratory may be more consistent, 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

Blood sample collection is safe, and most people have no problems after the test.

• Common: Mild pain, slight bruising, tenderness, or brief dizziness after the blood draw. These usually go away on their own.
• Rare: A larger bruise, infection, swelling of the vein (phlebitis), or temporary nerve irritation.
• When to see a doctor: Get medical advice if you have severe or persistent pain, increasing redness or swelling, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection at the blood draw site. However, these problems are uncommon.

Understanding AMH Test Limitations

• This test measures only the egg quantity, not egg quality, which is also crucial for understanding fertility potential.
• This test cannot predict whether natural conception is possible or fertility treatments are required.
• It cannot detect problems like blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, or endometriosis, which can affect the ability to get pregnant.
• Although low levels of AMH can mean menopause is close, it cannot pinpoint the exact age when menopause will occur.
• Different laboratories use different reference ranges, which can complicate direct result comparisons.

The AMH test is available in Patna for INR 1849.
