【Premature Ovarian Failure】Is AMH Test Useful? Dismantle the symptoms of premature ovarian failure

Late menstruation is a common problem for many women, and most of the reasons are caused by excessive stress, which leads to transient endocrine disorders. However, if you continue to have late menstruation and decreased menstrual flow, or even symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, you should not take it lightly, as it is likely that you have premature ovarian failure, which may lead to early menopause. Why does premature ovarian failure occur? Is it possible to recover? This article will explain the causes and symptoms of premature ovarian failure, and how to pass the AMH test and index test.

What is premature ovarian failure?

A woman’s ovaries have a fixed number of primordial follicles from birth, and a certain number of primordial follicles develop every month, one of which will mature and release eggs, while the others will naturally degenerate and shrink away. Normally, the follicles in the ovaries are not depleted until a woman is about 50 years old. If the follicles in the ovaries are insufficient or even depleted before the age of 40, and the ovarian function declines, resulting in a decline in female fertility and female hormone deficiency, and symptoms such as irregular menstruation, menopause, infertility, hot flashes and night sweats, it can be regarded as suffering from “premature ovarian failure”. In recent years, the number of patients with premature ovarian failure has increased and become younger, and even young women in their 20s have developed premature ovarian failure.

Causes of premature ovarian failure

Modern medicine currently understands the specific cause of premature ovarian failure, and believes that it may be related to the following factors:

Hereditary factors:
For example, the deletion or mutation of the gene site associated with the X chromosome and the egg.

Immune factors:
Autoimmune diseases cause immune dysfunction and affect the ovaries.

Iatrogenic factors:
Ovarian function has been damaged by surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

Infectious Diseases:
Mumps, pelvic infections damage the ovaries.

Environmental Living Factors:
Bad lifestyle habits, such as environmental pollution or smoking, staying up late for a long time, etc.

Detection method for premature ovarian failure: AMH test

AMH stands for Anti-mullerian Hormone, which is a hormone index that measures the follicle reserves in a woman’s body. AMH is mainly produced by immature follicles, and the amount of AMH in the blood can be measured to determine the number of follicles in the ovaries that can continue to develop.
