Amniocentesis is a prenatal test done during pregnancy to check the baby’s chromosomes and certain genetic conditions.
A small amount of the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) is removed using a thin needle. The procedure is carried out under continuous ultrasound guidance to ensure safety.
It helps detect chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and some inherited genetic disorders. It may also be recommended if earlier screening tests show a higher risk.
Usually performed between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Most women experience only mild discomfort, similar to an injection.
Amniocentesis is generally safe when performed by trained specialists. The risk of miscarriage is very low (less than 1 in 500).
Mild cramps may occur for a few hours. Rest is recommended for 24 hours. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, bleeding, fluid leakage, or fever.

Ultrasonography, commonly called ultrasound, is a safe imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of organs inside the body.
A gel is applied to the skin (or a vaginal probe may be used for pelvic scans), and a handheld probe is moved over the area being examined. The test is painless and usually takes 10–20 minutes.
Yes. Ultrasound is very safe, does not use radiation, and can be repeated when needed. It is also safe during pregnancy.
Fetal medicine is a specialized field of obstetrics that focuses on monitoring the baby’s health and development during pregnancy.
Most fetal medicine evaluations are safe and non-invasive. A few diagnostic procedures are performed only when necessary and with proper counseling.
The goal of fetal medicine is early detection, accurate diagnosis, and planning the best care for both mother and baby.
Sonomammography is an ultrasound test of the breasts. It uses sound waves (not X-rays) to examine breast tissue and breast lumps.
It helps evaluate breast pain, lumps, nipple discharge, or abnormalities seen on mammography. It is especially useful in young women and those with dense breast tissue.
You will lie down while a small probe is gently moved over the breast using gel. The test is painless and usually takes about 10–15 minutes.

Sonosalpingography (SSG) is an ultrasound-based test used to check whether the fallopian tubes are open and to assess the uterine cavity. It is commonly performed during infertility evaluation.
It is usually performed between day 7 and day 10 of the menstrual cycle, after periods end and before ovulation.
A thin tube is placed into the cervix and sterile saline (sometimes with air bubbles) is gently injected. A vaginal ultrasound is done at the same time to observe the flow of fluid through the tubes. The test takes about 10–15 minutes.
Most women experience mild cramping, similar to menstrual pain, which usually settles quickly.
Yes. SSG is safe, uses no radiation, and can be repeated if required. Complications are rare.
Mild cramps or light spotting may occur for a few hours. Normal activities can usually be resumed the same day.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a special X-ray test used to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. It is commonly performed as part of an infertility evaluation.
Usually performed between day 7 and day 10 of the menstrual cycle, after bleeding has stopped and before ovulation.
A thin tube is inserted into the cervix, and a contrast dye is gently injected. X-ray images are taken as the dye fills the uterus and fallopian tubes. The test typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
Some women may feel mild to moderate cramping, similar to menstrual pain. This usually settles quickly.
HSG is generally safe, and complications are uncommon. Your doctor may recommend pain relief or antibiotics if needed.
