Genetic Counselling

Clarity, Confidence & Informed Decisions for Your Family’s Future

At Oorkid Hospital & IVF Centre, we offer expert genetic counselling in Surat to help individuals and couples understand inherited health risks—without fear or confusion.

Genetic counselling is especially valuable when there is a family history of genetic disorders, repeated pregnancy loss, congenital conditions, or when planning pregnancy at an older age. Our goal is to provide clear, accurate information so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

What Is Genetic Counselling?

Genetic counselling is a specialised consultation that helps assess the risk of inherited conditions based on family history, medical background, and available diagnostic tests.

At Oorkid, we focus on interpreting what these risks actually mean—without assumptions or unnecessary anxiety—and guide you through relevant genetic screening and testing options.

What We Cover in Genetic Counselling

• Detailed family history mapping and risk assessment
• Understanding genetic conditions and inheritance patterns
• Guidance on available prenatal genetic screening tests
• Interpretation of test results (false positives vs real risks)
• Planning for a safe and healthy pregnancy
• Emotional support and next-step guidance

Our approach ensures you receive not just information, but meaningful clarity.

Who Should Consider Genetic Counselling?

You may benefit from genetic counselling before or during pregnancy if you have:

• Family history of genetic disorders or birth defects
• Recurrent miscarriages or unexplained pregnancy losses
• Plans for IVF or donor-assisted pregnancy
• Pregnancy after the age of 35
• Concerns about inherited conditions
• A desire for clarity before trying to conceive

Genetic Counselling & Pregnancy Planning

Genetic counselling plays an important role in preconception and prenatal care. It helps identify potential risks early and allows couples to plan pregnancy with better awareness and preparedness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is genetic counselling only needed during pregnancy?

No. It can be done before pregnancy (preconception) or during pregnancy, depending on your needs.

Do I need genetic testing if I have no family history?

Not always. Genetic counselling helps determine whether testing is necessary based on your individual risk.

Are genetic tests always accurate?

Genetic tests are highly informative, but results must be interpreted carefully. Counselling helps distinguish between actual risk and false alarms.

Will genetic counselling increase anxiety?

No. The purpose is to reduce uncertainty by providing clear, evidence-based information and guidance.
