Fetal Reduction Procedure
Pregnancy management in multiple or high-risk pregnancies
Multiple fetuses, such as twins and triplets, are considered high-risk pregnancies because they pose a significant risk to the health of both the mother and the baby. This is where the fetal reduction procedure, or multifetal pregnancy reduction, plays a vital role. This procedure aims to reduce the number of fetuses so that the survival chances of the remaining fetuses are improved, along with reducing the risk associated with the mother’s health. You can choose a fetal reduction procedure in Siliguri if you are carrying a higher-order multiple pregnancy, such as triplets and more. However, a consultation with an experienced fetal medicine specialist is a must to determine the relevance of such a procedure.
With an excellent track record of high-risk pregnancy management, Dr Sweta Bothra offers a safe and reliable fetal reduction procedure. Her meticulous approach ensures that the chances of healthy outcomes in high-risk pregnancies increase. In addition, she designs personalized treatment plans for every patient after comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary discussion.
This procedure is usually considered when:
- There are higher-order multiple pregnancies (triplets or more)
- One or more fetuses have severe abnormalities
- Continuing the pregnancy poses serious risk to the mother
- Medical complications threaten overall pregnancy outcome
