Reports from University of Arizona Describe Recent Advances in Chronic Disease (Laparoscopically Confirmed Endometriosis and Anti-mullerian Hormone Levels: Findings From the Nurses' Health Study Ii).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona has found that women with endometriosis have lower levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which is associated with ovarian reserve, compared to women without the condition. The study, which included 1,961 premenopausal women, found that those with endometriosis had 29.6% lower AMH levels than those without. The researchers suggest that this may be one mechanism through which endometriosis influences infertility, younger age at menopause, and cardiovascular disease. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of endometriosis on AMH levels in the general population. [Extracted from the article]
