Methods for checking female fertility

Having a baby is every woman's dream and future, and every family becomes more complete with a baby. However, due to the current high work pressure, many men and women do not have very good fertility. So what are the methods to check women's fertility? Although we ordinary people cannot detect it, we can go to the hospital for professional testing. Next, let us learn about the methods of checking female fertility.

1. AMH Encyclopedia

Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has become an important indicator for evaluating the amount of egg storage in clinical practice. What is AMH? How to predict fertility from AMH? Women who want to have a baby must know this!

AMH is a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. Female babies start producing AMH from 9 months old. The more follicles there are in the ovaries, the higher the concentration of AMH. Conversely, as the follicles are gradually consumed with age and various factors, the AMH concentration will also decrease. The closer to menopause, the closer AMH will be to 0.

Dr. Richard mentioned that AMH is currently one of the important indicators for assessing the amount of female egg reserves. By testing the AMH concentration in the serum, the remaining number of eggs can be clearly known. However, since the rate of follicle consumption varies from person to person and from time to time, patients can only be given advice at the time of the test, and the future downward trend cannot be predicted. It is recommended that if the AMH test shows a tendency to be low, it is best to plan for fertility early to avoid missing the best time for childbearing!

The medical community often uses age, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (E2) as comprehensive reference indicators to evaluate ovarian function. In the past five years, clinical practice has begun to use anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a new indicator for evaluating ovarian function. AMH can clearly show the number of eggs in the ovaries, which is a very important reference data for women with fertility goals and couples planning artificial insemination!

2. Advantages of AMH

1. Not affected by the menstrual cycle, can be tested at any time

FSH, LH, and E2 will change with the menstrual cycle and are usually tested on the third day of menstruation; while AMH is not affected by the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, medication, etc., and its concentration remains stable at any time.

2. You can clearly know the amount of egg storage

FSH and LH are used to indirectly assess ovarian function based on the principle of hormone regulation. They can only give a rough idea of ​​whether the ovarian function is good or bad. AMH exists in the follicular granulosa cells, and the amount of egg reserves can be known by detecting the value.

3. Has development potential in reproductive medicine

In artificial conception or in vitro fertilization treatment, AMH is used to provide follicle data obtained after stimulating ovulation. The AMH value allows doctors to consider the dosage of ovulation injections and drugs, and can also provide clearer suggestions when facing patient consultations.

Every newlywed couple will undergo a physical examination before getting married. During the examination, they must carefully check their bodies to see if the couple has some hidden or obvious diseases. If so, they must receive timely treatment. Of course, the physical examination will also check the female's fertility. No matter what the fertility record is, they must face it with a smile.
