Can PCOS Cause High AMH Levels?

Yes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is strongly associated with elevated AMH levels. Women with PCOS often have a higher number of small, immature ovarian follicles, which produce more AMH. These elevated levels are a result of the increased follicular activity characteristic of PCOS. High AMH levels in women with PCOS can sometimes complicate fertility treatments, as they are more prone to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Measuring AMH levels can help diagnose PCOS and guide appropriate treatment strategies. If you suspect PCOS or have concerns about fertility, consulting with a healthcare provider for a full evaluation is essential.
