Question 10

Accepted Answer

AMH alone: Anti-mullerian hormone is sometimes used to evaluate ovarian function and fertility and conditions such as PCOS or premature ovarian failure. The levels you report for your age group would not be indicative of an underlying problem if in ng/ml, but should not be used alone as a diagnostic test.
