Low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels can be a major concern for women trying to conceive. AMH is a key indicator of ovarian reserve, which refers to the number and quality of a woman’s remaining eggs. When AMH levels are low, it may indicate diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), making conception more challenging. However, low AMH does not mean pregnancy is impossible—with the right medical intervention and lifestyle modifications, many women can still achieve their dream of motherhood.

If you have been diagnosed with low AMH or are struggling with unexplained infertility, Dr. Sravya Buggana offers specialized management approaches to help improve your chances of conception.

What is AMH and Why is it Important?

AMH is a hormone produced by the ovaries that helps estimate a woman’s egg reserve. A low AMH level suggests that the ovaries have fewer eggs available for fertilization. While it is natural for AMH levels to decline with age, some women experience a faster decline, leading to difficulties in conceiving.

Causes of Low AMH

Several factors can contribute to low AMH levels, including:

• Aging – AMH naturally decreases as women get older, particularly after 35.
• Genetics – Family history can play a role in ovarian reserve.
• Autoimmune Disorders – Conditions affecting the immune system can impact ovarian function.
• Endometriosis – This condition can lead to ovarian damage and decreased egg reserve.
• Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, stress, poor diet, and exposure to environmental toxins can contribute to lower AMH.
• Previous Ovarian Surgery – Surgical interventions can reduce the number of viable eggs.

How is Low AMH Managed?

Dr. Sravya Buggana provides personalized treatment strategies to help women with low AMH improve their fertility potential. Management includes:

1. Fertility Medications & Hormonal Therapy

Certain ovarian stimulation medications like DHEA supplements, CoQ10, and gonadotropins can enhance ovarian response and improve egg quality.

2. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)

For women with significantly low AMH, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) with mild ovarian stimulation or egg freezing may be recommended. In some cases, donor eggs can also be considered for a successful pregnancy.

3. Lifestyle & Nutritional Modifications

A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins can support ovarian function. Incorporating:
✔ Leafy greens & fresh fruits for essential vitamins
✔ Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, flaxseeds, and nuts
✔ Dairy & lean proteins to support hormone balance
✔ Regular exercise & stress management techniques like yoga and meditation

4. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Ovarian Rejuvenation

A cutting-edge treatment that stimulates the ovaries to improve egg quality and overall fertility potential.

5. Acupuncture & Alternative Therapies

Some women find benefits from acupuncture, herbal supplements, and Ayurveda-based therapies to support ovarian function and balance hormones naturally.
