AMH VALUE IS JUST A NUMBER, NOT A CRITERIA FOR CONCEPTION: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Women of reproductive age are frequently exposed to physical, physiological and psychological stress that may affect the reproductive health. Due to this stress, it may have negative effects on ovaries and oocytes. Oocyte apoptosis may deplete ovarian germ cells and reduce oocyte quality after ovulation and it directly affecting the reproductive outcomes also.

The antimullerian hormone is produced by the granulosa cells surrounding each oocyte in the developing ovarian follicle. Many studies demonstrated that AMH levels decline across the reproductive life span. Measuring the AMH level thus very quickly became a part of a basic infertility workup. But now a days AMH is not as a important factor for conception because AMH levels seemed to vary when repeated in the same patient. Young patients with low AMH levels have been shown to have a fairly good chance of getting pregnant naturally.

In this case study, patient aged 34 years with marital life of 8 years came to the opd with the complaints of anxious to conceive since 7 years who has low AMH value got conceived through the ayurvedic management. We administered Dashamoola ksheera basti, Uttarabasti for 3 days and 3 months oral medicines given as shamanoushadhis.

Key words: - AMH, Infertility, Uttarabasti, Shamanoushadi
