Genetic Counselling in Indore for Couples and Families
Genetic counselling helps couples understand inherited disease risks, carrier tests, prenatal options and embryo testing. Learn who needs it and what happens.
Genetic counselling helps individuals and couples understand how inherited conditions might affect them or their children, and what testing and reproductive choices are available. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, genetic counselling is part of fertility and pregnancy care for families with a known condition, abnormal test results or recurrent pregnancy loss.
Who Should See a Genetic Counsellor?
- Couples where one or both partners are thalassaemia or sickle cell carriers
- A family history of a genetic disorder, intellectual disability or birth defects
- Consanguineous (blood-related) marriages
- Recurrent miscarriage with an abnormal karyotype
- An abnormal pregnancy screening test or scan
- Couples considering PGT
What Happens in a Session
The counsellor draws a family tree, reviews medical reports, explains inheritance patterns and risks in simple language, discusses available tests (carrier testing, karyotype, prenatal tests such as CVS or amniocentesis, PGT) and supports you in making decisions that fit your values. You will never be pressured into a particular choice.
