    TLDR Serum AMH levels are a strong marker for diagnosing PCOS in Indian women.
    The study evaluated the diagnostic potential of serum Anti-mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) among 113 Indian women with PCOS and 75 normo-ovulatory women. The results showed that the mean serum AMH level was significantly higher in the PCOS group (7.84±3.67 ng/mL) compared to the control group (3.23 ±1.56 ng/mL). Serum AMH levels positively correlated with the LH/FSH ratio and the number and volume of ovarian follicles, but not with age or BMI. The study determined a cut-off of 3.76 ng/mL for AMH levels, with 86.7% sensitivity and 62.7% specificity. The conclusion is that serum AMH levels could be a potent diagnostic marker of ovarian dysfunction in PCOS, either alone or in conjunction with other tools, to ensure timely diagnosis and early treatment of the disorder.

      Anti-hair loss shampoos, like the one with rosemary, quillaja, and jaborandi extracts, mainly support scalp health but are not effective for hair regrowth compared to treatments like finasteride or minoxidil. Ketoconazole 2% is noted as the only effective anti-hair loss shampoo, while others are often considered scams.
