CVS Test
Early prenatal diagnosis of genetic and chromosomal conditions
The journey of pregnancy is filled with joy, pain, and emotions. One of the major concerns that every pregnant woman has is related to the fetus’s health. This is where the role of Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) becomes significant. A CVS is a prenatal diagnostic test that is performed between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy to detect genetic conditions and chromosomal abnormalities. By undergoing a CVS test in Siliguri, you can rule out the presence of genetic conditions, such as Down Syndrome, Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18), or Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13). Overall, this test is based on removing a small tissue sample from the placenta under continuous ultrasound guidance.
As a top fetal medicine specialist in Siliguri, Dr Sweta Bothra offers a highly advanced CVS test. However, before recommending such a test, she offers detailed counselling and evaluation. Thus, she recommends CVS only when screening results show high-risks, such as family history of genetic conditions or abnormal early scan results. In addition, she performs CVS by using modern techniques and high-level expertise, which ensures top-level safety and accuracy.
