MS and fertility: new study looks at ovarian health in young women
NCT ID NCT07164924
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether multiple sclerosis (MS) and its treatments affect a woman's egg supply. Researchers measured a hormone called AMH in blood samples from over 800 women with MS or a related condition. The goal was to see if disease activity or medications impact ovarian reserve, which is key for fertility. The findings could help guide decisions about fertility preservation.
