🩺 What Causes Low AMH?

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a crucial indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve—the quantity of eggs remaining in her ovaries. A low AMH level can indicate reduced fertility potential and can be concerning for women trying to conceive. Understanding the causes of low AMH can help women make informed decisions regarding their reproductive health.

🔍 Causes of Low AMH

1. Age
   Age is the most common and natural cause. AMH levels decline gradually after the age of 30 and significantly after 35, reflecting a natural decline in egg reserve.

2. Genetic Factors
   Some women may inherit a lower ovarian reserve genetically, even at a younger age.

3. Autoimmune Conditions
   Autoimmune diseases can affect the ovaries and reduce the number of follicles, leading to low AMH levels.

4. Surgical History
   Surgeries involving the ovaries (like cyst removal or endometriosis treatment) can reduce ovarian tissue and impact AMH levels.

5. Chemotherapy & Radiation
   Cancer treatments can severely affect ovarian function and lead to a drastic fall in AMH levels.

6. Endometriosis
   This condition often damages the ovarian environment, reducing the quality and number of eggs.

7. Environmental Toxins
   Exposure to smoking, pollutants, and certain chemicals can negatively affect ovarian reserve over time.

8. Lifestyle Factors
   Poor nutrition, obesity, smoking, and excessive stress may also contribute to declining AMH levels.

🧬 What Does Low AMH Mean?

While low AMH is often associated with reduced fertility, it does not mean infertility. Many women with low AMH conceive naturally or with fertility support. It is simply one piece of the fertility puzzle.
