Invasive Tests

Prenatal Testing Centre in Nagpur

Prenatal diagnosis refers to a diagnosis made before birth to identify the anomalies of the developing baby. The two main methods amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are used to find genetic disorders before birth. Some pregnant women may experience stress and fear as a result of diagnostic tests. At Samartha Fertility and Fetal Medicine Centre, we are quite aware of the situations and difficulties that new mothers face. The physical and mental health of the mother and child is of the utmost importance to us that is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that they are both well-adjusted, healthy, and happy. In order to help new mothers get ready for their new jobs, we provide a special postnatal care service that covers all the treatments and care required.

Conditions Diagnosed through Prenatal Diagnosis:

Some of the conditions that can be diagnosed through prenatal diagnosis include:

  1. Chromosomal Abnormalities: Prenatal diagnosis can detect chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome, which are caused by an extra or missing chromosome.
  2. Genetic disorders: Prenatal diagnosis can detect genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, and Tay-Sachs disease, which are passed down through families and caused by a genetic mutation.
  3. Structural Abnormalities: Prenatal diagnosis can identify structural abnormalities in the fetus, such as heart defects, cleft palate, and neural tube defects, which can affect the normal development of the baby.
  4. Multiple pregnancies: Prenatal diagnosis can help identify multiple pregnancies, such as twins, triplets, and other multiples, which can have increased risks to the mother and the babies, as well as implications for the delivery and care of the infants.
  5. Maternal health conditions: Some conditions affecting the mother’s health, such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and placenta previa, can be identified through prenatal diagnosis and help in the management of the pregnancy and delivery.

Treatments Offered for Prenatal Diagnosis:

There are several possible treatment options, depending on the specific condition. These can include:
