What is the role of AMG in the male body?
The hormone exerts a special influence on the male organism at the stage of intrauterine development and puberty. It begins to be synthesized at the embryo stage, responsible for the reverse development of the Müller ducts, which are rudimentary formations of the future genital organs of the baby.
After the boy was born, and until puberty, the hormone is produced by male testicles. After puberty, the concentration of the hormone in the body decreases sharply, but the hormone does not disappear at all.
Violation of the synthesis of the hormone AMG in boys leads to violations, and this manifests itself in the formation of cryptorchidism (when the testes do not descend into the scrotum after birth), inguinal hernia, reproductive failure, which leads to the development of false hermaphroditism.
What role does AMG play in the female body?
Even those girls who know about the hormone AMG and have an idea of what it is, when giving an analysis, do not always understand why they control it, and in general what role it plays in the body.
In Antimyuller women, the hormone begins to be synthesized at the stage of intrauterine development and continues until the moment of extinction of sexual function. In this case, especially dramatically the level of the hormone increases with the onset of the puberty period. Reducing its level in the blood directly affects the reproductive system. First of all, there is a disturbance in the process of maturation of follicles, which often leads to the development of infertility.
When is the analysis scheduled for AMG?
The reasons for this study vary. Most often, it is assigned to:
- diagnosis of delay or premature sexual development;
- detection of a tumor or polycystic ovary;
- determining the causes of infertility;
- evaluation of male sexual function.
How is the evaluation of the results of the analysis conducted at AMG?
As in women and men, the level of the hormone is not constant and varies with age. That is why the norm of AMG is constantly changing. So for the male representatives are characterized by the following indicators:
- up to 2 weeks - 32-40 ng / ml;
- up to 12 months - 65-78 ng / ml;
- up to 4 years - 70-80 ng / ml;
- in the period of puberty - 35-38.7 ng / ml;
- in adult males - 4,2-4,8 ng / ml.
In women, the concentration of AMH varies as follows:
- up to 9 years - 3.5-5.5 ng / ml;
- from the moment of the onset of puberty and during the childbearing age - 2,1-7,3 ng / ml;
What can cause a change in the level of AMG in the blood?
A high level of AMH in women can be caused by:
- ovarian tumor ;
- delayed puberty;
- polycystic ;
inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs.
Such cases, when a woman has a low AMG, is also not uncommon. This fact sometimes causes the absence of children, at first sight, in a healthy, young woman. Therefore, with a decrease in the content of the hormone AMG, many doctors recommend IVF as the most effective, and sometimes the only way to conceive a child. However, not always even ECO helps to cope with the problem of infertility in women. But thanks to a whole complex of measures aimed at restoring the reproductive capacity of women, many soon become mothers.
