Treatment & Procedures

Non-Invasive Testing

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) uses a pregnant person's blood to detect congenital DNA abnormalities in the foetus. This test analyzes DNA to assess the risk of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. While NIPT cannot diagnose conditions, it provides your physician with the likelihood of a problem being present. The test can be performed starting…

Follicular Imaging in Assisted…

Obstetric Scans

Manipal Hospitals sports top of the line screening equipment manned by a team of brilliant technicians who leave no room for error. The accuracy of their diagnosis is commendable and helps our gynaecologists to map the action plan for treatment.

Doppler Studies

Doppler studies are used to monitor and assess the health of the unborn baby and the placenta. Doppler studies use specialised ultrasound technology to evaluate blood flow in the umbilical cord, placenta, and fetal blood vessels, providing essential information about the baby's well-being.

Fetal Echo Studies

The fetal echocardiography is similar to an ultrasound. Only, this machine uses sound waves that ‘echo’ off the structures of the fetus's heart. This exam allows your doctor to clearly view the structure and function of your unborn child's heart to spot any complications. It's typically done in the second trimester, between weeks 18 to 24.

Gynecological Scans

Gynaecological scans are essential for women's health because they offer precise imaging of the reproductive organs like the uterus, ovaries, and cervix. These scans are crucial for the diagnosis of ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and malignancies of the uterus, ovaries, or cervix, among other gynaecological diseases.

One should consider consulting a foetal medicine specialist three months before attempting pregnancy, especially for individuals predisposed to high-risk pregnancy conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, or auto-immune disorders, those with a history of complex pregnancies like C-sections, a family history of genetic abnormalities, and those who have experienced a miscarriage. 
 

A high-risk pregnancy is characterised when the mother and the foetus are bound to encounter health risks or complications. Certain factors contribute to pregnancy being classified as high-risk, some of which include:

  • If the individual is under the age of 17 or over the age of 35

  • If they have any pre-existing comorbidities, such as high blood pressure, and diabetes

  • Certain cardiac-related issues

  • Presence of sexually transmitted diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). and viral hepatitis

  • Lifestyle factors, such as obesity smoking, drinking, and drug addiction

  • Environmental factors like exposure to pollution or toxins

  • Other factors such as blood clotting disorders, kidney diseases and endocrine disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

During your initial consultation, the specialist will discuss your concerns and review your medical history. Based on the assessment, they may suggest specific diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound scans, blood tests, or genetic testing, to screen for potential birth anomalies. Following the evaluation, the specialist will develop a personalised treatment plan and approach that aligns with your needs and those of your baby. You may also receive recommendations for lifestyle practices and follow-up appointments to monitor both your foetus and your health.
 

Foetal Medicine specialists suggest diagnostic tests based on individual symptoms and medical history. Common diagnostic tests used to investigate uterine-related conditions include:

  • Interventional procedures such as Hysteroscopy, Hysterosalpingography, or Sonohysterogram

  • Pap smear test

  • Urinalysis

  • Blood tests to identify hormonal changes

  • Imaging tests, such as ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scans

Ultrasonography is a safe and painless technique that utilises sound waves rather than radiation. Additionally, ultrasounds do not manifest any severe potential risks or complications to the mother or the foetus. While ultrasounds are effective in identifying issues during a healthy pregnancy, they aren’t foolproof and may not detect every birth defect. Routine ultrasounds might suggest a problem that does not exist, raising false alarms.
 

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are more likely to experience specific pregnancy challenges. Furthermore, infants born to moms with PCOS have a higher risk of spending time in the neonatal intensive care unit or dying before, during, or immediately after birth. Since PCOS is characterised as an endocrine disorder that occurs due to hormonal imbalance, women with PCOS can manifest gestational diabetes, sudden increase in blood pressure (preeclampsia), preterm birth, pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, and be prone to miscarriage or C-section delivery.

Only a few foetal anomalies require interventions before birth. Some of the procedures performed during pregnancy are:

Medical Intervention

The mother is prescribed medications that cross the placental barrier and reach the foetus. Some foetal disorders can be managed with medications.

Surgical Interventions

If the foetus is susceptible to life-threatening medical conditions or disability if left untreated, a surgical procedure is opted for. The surgical intervention is performed when the child is still in the womb. Some of the common surgical interventions are:

  • Open Foetal Surgery

  • Fetendo Foetal Surgery

  • Shunt Placements

  • Foetal Cardiac Intervention

  • Intrauterine Blood Transfusions

Before surgery, the potential risks and benefits of the interventions for the mother and foetus are assessed. If the early intervention yields better results for the mother and the child, the doctor opts to perform the surgery.
