What is Amniocentesis?
Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic test where a small sample of amniotic fluid is taken from the sac surrounding the fetus. This fluid is then tested for genetic testing of fetal health, chromosomal abnormalities, and other health conditions. Typically recommended for women who are at risk of having a baby with conditions like Down syndrome, Amniocentesis is performed by experienced specialists who provide expert care.
It is generally done between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy and provides accurate results for detecting chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, and infections. It is particularly beneficial for women who have a family history of genetic conditions or have abnormal screening results. At our clinic in Kolkata, we ensure the procedure is performed safely with minimal discomfort, offering some of the most trusted prenatal tests in Kolkata.
What is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)?
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is another invasive prenatal test in Kolkata that involves taking a small sample from the placenta (chorionic villi). This test is typically performed earlier in pregnancy, around 10 to 13 weeks, and helps detect genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and other inherited disorders. Unlike Amniocentesis, which tests amniotic fluid, the CVS test examines placental tissue, providing early diagnostic results.
The Chorionic Villus Sampling procedure is offered by skilled professionals, ensuring accurate and reliable results for expectant mothers who need to know about potential genetic issues early in their pregnancy
The benefits and risks of Amniocentesis and CVS
Both Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) are crucial tests for diagnosing genetic conditions in the fetus, but they come with their respective benefits and risks.
Benefits of Amniocentesis
- Accurate results for detecting chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, and infections.
- Performed later in pregnancy, providing more time for family decision-making.
- Provides clear and detailed information for expectant mothers with risk factors.
Risks of Amniocentesis
- Small risk of miscarriage (1 in 200-400 cases).
- Discomfort during the procedure.
- Potential for infection or injury to the fetus in rare cases.
Sampling benefits of Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
- Performed at an early stage of pregnancy.
- Highly accurate in detecting genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
Risks of CVS
- Slight risk of miscarriage (1 in 100-200 cases).
- Possible infection or injury to the fetus in rare cases.
- Limited ability to detect neural tube defects compared to Amniocentesis.
