1、 Significance of AMH inspection
AMH (Anti Mullerian Hormone) is a hormone secreted by the female ovary, which can reflect the ovarian reserve function and the number of follicles. AMH examination can help to assess the reproductive health status of women, especially for the treatment scheme selection and success rate prediction of IVF.
When the AMH level is high, it indicates that the ovarian reserve is rich, indicating that women have better fertility. The low level of AMH means that the ovarian reserve is relatively insufficient, and there may be fertility disorders. Therefore, through the AMH examination, doctors can formulate individualized treatment plans according to the patients' ovarian reserves, and improve the success rate of IVF.
AMH examination is widely used in the process of IVF diagnosis and treatment, which can help doctors better evaluate ovarian response, predict patients' response to ovulation induction treatment, and improve the safety and effectiveness of ovarian stimulation process.
2、 Steps of AMH inspection
AMH examination is generally carried out on the 2-5th day after menstruation, mainly based on basic blood sampling. The main steps are as follows:
1. The doctor will ask about the patient's menstrual history, family history and other related information to understand the patient's background information.
2. The doctor will explain in detail the purpose and significance of the examination, as well as the possible risks and discomfort.
3. The nurse will make preoperative preparations for the patient, including disinfection and soothing the patient's mood.
4. The nurse will find the right vein on the patient's arm, take venous blood, and collect appropriate blood samples.
5. The nurse will send the collected blood sample to the laboratory for testing the AMH level.
The whole examination process generally does not exceed 30 minutes, and usually does not cause too much discomfort. It usually takes several days to wait for the inspection results.
3、 Select the appropriate hospital for AMH examination
AMH examination should be carried out in a hospital with relevant laboratory equipment and relevant experience. It is very important to select a suitable hospital for AMH examination. The following points are worth considering:
1. Hospital reputation and professional level: select hospitals with rich experience in IVF treatment and professional teams to ensure the accuracy and reliability of AMH examination results.
2. Equipment and technology: AMH inspection involves the operation of biochemical laboratory. High quality equipment and technology can improve the success rate of inspection.
3. Hospital service and environment: Considering the possible mental and physical discomfort caused by the examination process, choosing a comfortable hospital and good service can reduce the pressure and anxiety of patients.
4. Price and cost: AMH examination costs will vary to some extent, and patients should choose appropriate hospitals according to their own economic ability.
4、 Analysis and interpretation of AMH inspection results
The normal range of AMH varies with age and laboratory. In general, AMH levels between 1.0 and 4.0 ng/ml are considered normal. The higher the level of AMH, the richer the ovarian reserve, and vice versa.
According to the test results of AMH, doctors can evaluate women's fertility and formulate individualized treatment plans according to the actual situation. For patients with low AMH level, it may be necessary to take more active auxiliary measures, such as increasing the dosage of ovulation promoting drugs, increasing follicle stimulation, etc., to improve the success rate of IVF.
It should be noted that AMH only reflects the number and reserve of ovaries, and cannot fully represent the fertility of women. Therefore, when formulating a treatment plan, doctors should also take into account the patient's age, menstrual cycle and other factors. In addition, AMH level may also be affected by other factors, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, so comprehensive analysis is needed.
summary
AMH examination is an important part of IVF treatment, which can help doctors evaluate women's fertility and ovarian reserve. The success rate of IVF can be improved by selecting an appropriate hospital for AMH examination and developing individualized treatment plans based on the examination results. However, the results of AMH examination are only the basis for auxiliary judgment. Doctors should also take into account the age, menstrual cycle and other factors of patients to formulate the most appropriate treatment plan.
