Why is Infertility & Prenatal Genetic Counselling Important?

Prenatal genetic counselling is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps couples to understand their risk of passing on genetic disorders to their children. With this information, couples can make informed decisions about their family planning, including whether to pursue fertility treatment, adoption, or other options.

Secondly, prenatal genetic counselling can help couples to understand the benefits and limitations of genetic testing. Genetic testing can help identify specific risks and guide couples in making informed decisions about their family planning. However, it is not 100% effective, and there are some limitations to the technology. Genetic counsellors can help couples to weigh the risks and benefits of genetic testing and make informed decisions about their family planning.

Lastly, prenatal genetic counselling can help prepare couples for the emotional and psychological challenges that may come with the fertility treatment process. Genetic counsellors can provide support and resources to help couples navigate these challenges and make informed decisions about their family planning.
