Association between anti-Mullerian hormone levels and age in women with endometriosis: insights from a population-based study
Our study showed that women with endometriosis had significantly lower AMH levels compared with healthy controls and did not demonstrate the age-related threshold observed in the control group, where AMH levels declined more sharply before 27 years of age. These findings suggest that endometriosis may alter the typical pattern of AMH, indicating that clinicians should interpret AMH levels with caution in this population. Further research is needed to validate these results in other populations and explore alternative biomarkers or strategies for more accurately assessing ovarian reserve in women with endometriosis.
