What does the analysis on AMG hormone say?

AMG-hormone is an inhibitor of Mueller, responsible for differentiation of the sex of the embryo and is involved in spermatogenesis and maturation of the follicle. According to its number, the work of the human sexual glands is judged. In medicine, hormone determination is often used to diagnose female infertility.

Being in the body of men and women, AMG-hormone performs very different functions. Few people know that the fetus, which is in the womb until 17 weeks, has signs of both sexes. Under the influence of this particular hormone, he undergoes an inverse transformation of the Mullerian duct, which is the germ of the female's reproductive system. This is how the sex of the child is determined.

In the female body, Muller's substance is responsible for the work of the reproductive organs. He controls the order of maturation of the follicles in the ovary. The essence of his action is to prevent the eggs from ripening all at once. Simply put, the length of a woman's reproductive age and conception depends only on him. But in the male body, the AMG hormone is responsible for the timely and correct sexual maturation. Typically, a low level of hormone leads to an earlier maturation, and a high - to a delay.

What are the indicators of AMG? Its norm in blood for men is 0.49-5.98 ng / ml, and in women it is within the range of 1.0-2.5 ng / ml. You should know that during the entire female reproductive period, the hormone does not change, the decline occurs only with the onset of menopause or obesity. A significant deviation from the norm in the larger side may speak of polycystic ovaries, a delay in sexual development, a tumor in the tissues of the ovary.

What will the AMG tell? Analysis for the content of this substance in the blood is prescribed to diagnose sexual development in boys, to determine the prognosis of the onset of menopause in women. Also indications for the purpose of analysis are:

• Diagnosis of male and female infertility;
• Evaluation of the ovarian reserve of the female body;
• Diagnosis of cryptorchidism or anarchism;
• Evaluation of the function of male gonads;
• Postoperative observation in the presence of ovarian cancer;
• Observation of chemotherapy for Ovarian cancer;
• Problems with fertilization with IVF;
• Birth of a child with signs of both sexes (to determine the dominant sex).

The indicator of the hormone in the blood gives an accurate characterization of the ovaries. The analysis helps the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe a comprehensive treatment.

For analysis, the venous blood taken on the 3-5 day of the menstrual cycle is used, which is examined using the ELISA method. Special training before donating blood is not required. The conditions are only: the last meal for 12 hours and the exclusion of hormonal drugs 2 days before the study.

What to do if the content of AMG-hormone is reduced? The answer is simple: nothing. Physicians believe that even with an artificial increase in the hormone, the number of follicles in the ovaries will remain unchanged. However, do not despair. Modern medicine is ready to offer other ways of treating infertility, including IVF. You just have to not miss the priceless time.
