Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) Counselling in Kolkata

Many patients hear the term preimplantation genetic testing during IVF treatment, but may not fully know what it involves. Expert PGT counselling for embryo genetic screening explains the process, the purpose of testing, and the possible outcomes early in the IVF process.

A counselling session includes discussions about medical history, family history, previous pregnancy complications, inherited genetic conditions, and IVF planning. It also gives couples the opportunity to ask questions openly and prepare for what to expect emotionally, physically and also financially.

For many patients, these conversations bring peace of mind before starting IVF treatment at an IVF centre in Kolkata.

PGT counselling is a guidance session offered before preimplantation genetic testing is performed during IVF treatment. It helps patients learn how embryos can be screened for certain genetic conditions before implantation.

What is preimplantation genetic diagnosis in Kolkata? Preimplantation genetic testing is performed on embryos created through IVF. A few cells are carefully taken from the embryo and tested in a laboratory to identify possible chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.

The different types of testing include:

• PGT-A for checking chromosomal abnormalities
• PGT-M for inherited genetic disorders
• PGT-SR for structural chromosomal rearrangements

During these sessions, doctors discuss the testing process, possible findings and what the reports could mean for future pregnancy planning.

Some couples may wish to delay pregnancy for personal or medical reasons. In such cases, consulting an egg freezing centre in Kolkata or a sperm freezing centre in Kolkata can help them understand fertility preservation options better.
