Frequently Asked Questions
Prenatal screening is not mandatory — it is your choice. Dr. Sanjana will explain each test, what it checks for, and what the results might mean, empowering you to decide what is right for you and your family.
Screening tests (like NIPT and anomaly scans) identify risks but are not definitive. If a screening test raises a concern, diagnostic tests like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can confirm the diagnosis.
