After 3 months of pulsatile GnRH therapy, AMH levels significantly increased in the non-PCOM group (1.94 [IQR 1.39-2.49], <i>p</i> < 0.001), whereas no significant change was observed in the PCOM group (<i>p</i> = 0.218). LH, FSH, and estradiol levels increased in both groups. Pulsatile GnRH therapy effectively induced ovulation (1 dominant follicle in each patient), irrespective of ovarian morphology.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The significant AMH rise in women with FHA without PCOM likely reflects restored folliculogenesis. In contrast, the absence of an AMH rise in the PCOM group was expected, given their already elevated baseline levels. Importantly, these findings suggest that pulsatile GnRH therapy does not exacerbate AMH levels in most patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":12865,"journal":{"name":"Gynecological Endocrinology","volume":"42 1","pages":"2677994"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148005163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
