ABSTRACT

Background of the study:- AMH is best known as a serum marker for ovarian function especially ovarian reserve. Since AMH is expressed by growing follicles prior to FSH- dependent selection and has shown to be detectable in circulation. Serum AMH has taken momentum as a marker for ovarian function, in particular the assessment of the ovarian reserve, ovarian reserve is constituted by the quality and quantity of the primordial follicle, which both decline with increasing age. In younger women AMH level does not correlate, while in the women of late reproductive age, a significant correlation was observed with primordial follicle density. From 25years onwards AMH level starts to decline. This study is aimed to understand the effect of Shivalingi Beeja Churna on the levels of Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH). Objectives:- To evaluate the effect of Shivalingi Beeja Churna on the levels of AMH. Methods:- It was an Open Label Single Arm Clinical Study, where 5 subjects with low level of AMH were administered Shivalingi Beeja Churna with tandulodaka as anupana for 30 days. The assessment was done by comparing the Serum AMH report before and after the intervention. Results:- Among 5 subjects none of their, AMH levels improved, but one among them is 18 weeks pregnant. Out of 2 subjects with irregular cycles, 1 of them attained regular cycles. 1 subject who had interval of menstrual cycle for 36-40days, attained interval of 25- 35 days. Conclusion:- The study was clinically significant in regularity of menstrual cycle and interval of cycle.
