Comparison of Antimullerian Hormone Level Between Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Normal Ovulatory Infertile Women of Reproductive Age

الملخص

Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism in young women. This syndrome is characterized by an increase in the number of small antral follicles that are between 5-8 mm in size. Antemüllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted mostly by this type of follicle and when it is much too high, the production of a healthy egg every cycle can be halted as it works by reducing the receptors of the ovary to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
