RESUMEN
Background: Infertility means inability of pregnancy after one year of natural continuous intercourse, not using any prevention which is one of the most important problems in every human society. The average rate of infertility in different societies is been estimated to be 8-12%. The aim of this study was to determine the level of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in women undergoing IVF and its associations with effective factors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which was done by using library and field methods. A number of 170 women with the diagnosis of infertility referring to the infertility clinic of Alavi hospital in Ardabil city from August 2021 to December 2021 were enrolled randomly in the study and their clinical data including demographic, anthropometric and hormone levels were gathered and then analyzed by using statistical methods in SPSS version 22 software. Results: The mean age of women were 31.7±4.68 and AMH level were 3.35±2 ng/ml. There was a strong association between age and AMH level (r=0.68, p=0.001). There was not a significant correlation BMI and AMH levels. In women with the complaint of secondary infertility, prevalence of AMH deficiency was significantly lower than other women (p=0.045). There was no difference in AMH levels between regular and irregular monthly menses. Conclusions: It can be concluded from our study that increase of age is one of the main factors in AMH levels. Also, the deficiency of this hormone can be a cause in secondary infertility.
