Innovative Treatments for Low AMH

Low AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels can pose a significant challenge for individuals and couples seeking to conceive. AMH is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles, and its levels can be a key indicator of ovarian reserve and egg quantity.

When AMH levels are low, it often signals a decreased ovarian reserve and can make traditional conception and IVF (in vitro fertilization) less effective. Fortunately, advancements in reproductive medicine have introduced innovative treatments that offer new hope for those facing these challenges.

Innovative Treatments and Approaches

1. Personalized IVF protocols

Customizing IVF treatment protocols for individuals with low AMH can significantly improve success rates. Advanced hormonal modulation helps optimize the quality of the eggs retrieved, allowing for more viable embryos. By tailoring the treatment approach, clinicians can better stimulate the ovaries, increase the chances of egg retrieval, and enhance the overall fertility outcomes.

Bavishi Fertility Institute has custom designed protocols which aim to act at the root and starts from 2 months before IVF targeting the early phases of follicle recruitment.

You may consider embryo pooling to accumulate embryos from 2 Ivf cycles and use them together, improving pregnancy rates. One of the strategies that has been tried with success is dual stimulation in this treatment to Ivf simulations or two IVF treatments are done in the same menstrual month. The second or the literal phase stimulation has shown to have better quality in a few studies.

2. Ovarian PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy

PRP therapy involves the injection of a concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the ovaries. Platelets contain growth factors that can promote the repair and regeneration of ovarian tissue. This innovative approach is being explored to rejuvenate ovarian function, and early studies suggest it can positively impact egg quality and ovarian reserve, offering new avenues for individuals with low AMH.

3. Stem cell therapy

Stem cell injections have shown promise in rejuvenating ovarian function. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those involved in the reproductive process. By promoting the development of healthier eggs, stem cell therapy can significantly improve ovarian reserve and fertility outcomes. This approach is still under exploration, and ongoing clinical trials are examining its efficacy.

4. Genetic modifications

Genetic engineering offers the potential to optimize egg quality and fertility outcomes. By manipulating genetic material, scientists can potentially enhance the health and viability of eggs. This cutting-edge approach is still in the experimental stage but holds promise for the future of fertility treatment.

5. Hormonal supplementation 

Hormonal supplementation can play a crucial role in optimizing ovarian function. Utilizing hormones like DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) may improve egg quality and ovarian response. Research has shown that DHEA can help increase the number of retrieved eggs in women with diminished ovarian reserve, making it a valuable addition to fertility treatment plans.

6.Acupuncture and Complementary therapies

Acupuncture and other complementary therapies have gained popularity for their potential to enhance fertility. Studies suggest that acupuncture may improve blood flow to the ovaries, reduce stress, and regulate hormone levels. Incorporating these therapies alongside traditional IVF can provide a holistic approach to treatment, supporting both physical and emotional well-being.

7. Lifestyle modifications

Making lifestyle changes can positively impact fertility outcomes. Encouraging a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing stress through mindfulness practices can improve overall reproductive health. Additionally, avoiding environmental toxins and smoking can enhance the likelihood of success in IVF treatments.

8. Oocyte preservation techniques 

Advanced techniques in oocyte (egg) preservation, such as vitrification, have made it possible to store eggs more effectively. Women with low AMH may benefit from harvesting and freezing eggs for future use, allowing for the possibility of IVF at a later date when conditions may be more favorable.

9. Optimized IVF cycles with time-lapse technology 

Time-lapse imaging technology allows for continuous monitoring of embryo development. By providing detailed insights into embryo growth, this approach helps embryologists select the best embryos for transfer. Enhanced selection can lead to higher pregnancy rates, especially in women with low AMH.

Natural and Supportive Methods

In addition to these advanced treatments, natural methods can also play a role in enhancing fertility outcomes:

1. Acupuncture: Some studies suggest that acupuncture can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, promote relaxation, and support the overall fertility process.

2. Herbal medicine: Certain herbs are believed to support reproductive health and hormone balance, complementing modern fertility treatments.

3. Diet and Lifestyle modifications: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can contribute to improved fertility outcomes. It may be beneficial to include antioxidants in your diet 

Conclusion

Innovative treatments for low AMH offer new avenues for enhancing fertility outcomes. Personalized IVF protocols, ovarian PRP therapy, stem cell therapy and  advanced IVF techniques each present unique opportunities to improve ovarian reserve and egg quality.
