Low AMH

LOW AMH TREATMENT IN AYURVEDA

Infertility has become increasingly common, often linked to lifestyle factors. One cause is low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), which is produced by ovarian follicles. Low AMH indicates a reduced ovarian reserve, though it does not affect egg quality. Contributing factors include genetics, age, smoking, and autoimmune disorders.

Low AMH affects approximately 14% to 15% of women under 35, increasing to 50% after age 35. Treatment in both Ayurveda and modern medicine depends on the underlying cause, such as genetics or lifestyle.

What is Low Anti Mullerian hormone?

Anti-Mullerian Hormone is a type of protein that is released by the follicles developing in the ovaries. It directly indicates the expected number of eggs present in the ovaries that are yet to be released. The normal range for AMH is 1.0-4.0 ng/ml. It is the highest at 25 years of age and decreases to 1.0ng/ml when the person reaches the age of 40years or above. It does not always hinder the chances of getting pregnant, but in some cases, it can cause infertility.

In Ayurveda Low AMH is known as Dhatukshayajanya Vandhyatava (which is infertility due to decreased number of tissue) and Artava kshaya (which is a decrease in the number of female reproductive tissue). It indicates the reduction of the quality or quantity of beeja (eggs).

Causes of Low AMH

Low AMH is mainly caused by age, but in younger females, there are several other factors that contradict the amounts of AMH-

• Age-After 40 years of age amount of AMH naturally decreases. It is the highest at 25 years of age and decreases with an increase in age.
• Unhealthy lifestyle- Poor nutrition, obesity, smoking, and high stress have a bad effect on hormones and overall reproductive health.
• Genetics- Females who have a family history of low ovarian reserve can genetically get this condition of low AMH, and those who have a family history of low AMH can pass on the same, which can cause early menopause.
• Other conditions- Other medical complications like Endometriosis, which can damage the ovary and reduce egg production, Surgeries, during which the follicles may get damaged, and cancer treatment like chemotherapy and other medications can cause reduced ovarian reserve.

Symptoms of Low AMH

The symptoms may not directly indicate Low AMH, but there are several symptoms that point to it-

• Unusual periods-Women with low AMH may experience prolonged or shortened menstrual cycles and irregular periods.
• Difficulty getting pregnant-Low AMH women face difficulty in conceiving naturally.
• Unresponsive to medication- Women with low AMH show low or no response to fertility medicines, which stimulate the ovaries to produce a large number of eggs at once.
• Menopause- Due to Low AMH, women can experience early menopause.

Diagnosis of Low AMH

After these symptoms show up, there are a few tests that can confirm low AMH in women. Here at Gynocci, the health care professional ensure an early and safe diagnosis to determine the AMH levels and treatment.

In Ayurveda Low AMH can be determined by Nadi parikshan, an overview of the menstrual cycle, checking out the stress levels, and Agni (digestive fire) and Ama (toxins) analysis.

Blood test- As AMH levels are stable during the menstrual cycle, unlike other hormones, it is easy to determine their levels. A simple blood test is done during menstruation to determine low AMH.

The normal range for AMH is 1.0ng/ml to 4.0ng/ml, so anything below 1.0 is considered low. The doctors suggest a treatment depending on the symptoms and how low the AMH is.

Treatment of Low AMH

When someone is diagnosed with low AMH, the one thing that concerns them is whether they will be able to conceive. At Gynnocci, with the consultation of the health care provider and one of the best Ayurvedic treatments, there is a 90% chance of success with 100% Ayurvedic treatment. The treatments include-

• Diet plan- The doctors will give you a personalized diet plan to get proper nutrition, which has become the main reason for many diseases and immunity problems. Avoiding processed and packaged foods and eating fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dry fruits, and whole grain etc. helps a lot.
• Oral medication- Oral medication includes herbal medicine, which can improve ovarian reserve.
• Panchkarma- It is the process of detoxification of the body, aiding in overall reproductive health.
• Balancing hormones- Balancing hormones is achieved by balancing doshas. In AMH, mainly the Vata dosha is imbalanced.
• Lifestyle changes- According to ayurveda following a healthy diet plan, maintaining weight, doing yoga like pranayam, etc., quitting alcohol and smoking, sleeping for at least 8 hours, and managing stress are the things you can do, along with treatments, that can help you regain your AMH levels.

Gynocci has a proven track record and has helped a lot of women recover naturally and with Ayurveda.

Treatments in modern medicine

Although there is no medicine or treatment that can actually help you totally regain AMH levels. The treatments help you increase the quality of the eggs and quantity to make sure you can conceive.

• IVF- This method is used to produce more number of eggs by stimulating the ovaries to increase AMH levels. But it mainly focuses on improving the quality of eggs.
• ICSI- Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection can be an effective way to help people who are unable to conceive due to low AMH levels. In this process, instead of injecting a lot of sperm to fertilize an egg, only a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to make fertilization more effective. ICSI combined with IVF can give even better results.
• Egg freezing- In this method, eggs of women are extracted from the ovaries and placed in a freezer for preservation and future use. This can help young women with declining levels of AMH. This helps them have a child whenever they want in the future without thinking about low AMH levels.
• Donor eggs- It is the process in which a donor provides her eggs to be fertilized and transferred into the one suffering from low AMH to help them be able to conceive.

Modern medicine can really help with conceiving, but it is not affordable to everyone; that is where Ayurveda can help. At Gynocci, all the treatments are easily available and you can personlised diet plan and treatment. If you think it is not possible to conceive with low AMH, then you might be wrong because many people have conceived naturally despite having low AMH, and with the help of Ayurveda.

How much AMH is good for conceiving?

A good AMH level is anywhere between 1.0ng/ml and 3.0ng/ml.

Does a low AMH value for pregnancy mean early menopause?

Not always. Low AMH mainly indicates that the ovarian reserve (number of eggs) may be lower than expected. But it does not always mean menopause will happen soon. Many women with low AMH still get pregnant naturally.

Why do some women have low AMH?

There can be many reasons like

• Increasing age
• Genetic factors
• PCOS treatment or ovarian surgery
• Endometriosis
• Chemotherapy or medical conditions

From an Ayurvedic point of view, long-term stress, poor nutrition, and imbalance in Vata affecting ovarian health may also impact egg reserve.

Does AMH predict egg quality?

No, AMH mainly tells about quantity of eggs, not the quality. Egg quality depends more on age, hormonal balance and overall health. That is why improving overall reproductive health is important. At Gynocci, we focus on strengthening Artava Dhatu (female reproductive tissue) and improving hormonal balance naturally.

What are the symptoms of low AMH?

Usually low AMH does not cause clear symptoms. Many women only discover it during fertility testing. Sometimes it may be associated with:

• Irregular periods
• Difficulty conceiving
• Shorter menstrual cycles

In Ayurveda this may be linked with depletion of reproductive tissues and Vata imbalance, which needs proper nourishment and hormonal balance support.
