Association between anti Mullerian hormone levels with size and bilaterality of ovarian endometrioma: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Objective.This study aims to analyze the association between anti-Mullerian hormone levels and the size and bilaterality of ovarian endometriomas. Materials and Methods.The study was conducted from January to October 2023 at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital in Makassar using a cross-sectional design through consecutive sampling of ovarium endometrioma patient confirmed by histopathological examination.AMH levels were measured by ELISA technique, size and bilaterality were determined based on abdominal ultrasound examination.Results.A total of 50 women, with a mean age 32.24 0.75 years, were enrolled in the study.There was no difference in the effect of age, menarche age, education, parity, BMI, endometrioma bilaterality, or tumor size on AMH levels (p > 0.05).In the correlation test, age (r = -0.248)and tumor size (r = -0.276)were negatively correlated with AMH levels, while menarche age (r = 0.067) was positively correlated with AMH levels, but all three variables were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusions.There was no association anti mullerian hormone level with the size and bilaterality of ovarium endometrioma.Further research is needed with a larger sample size to confirm it.
