Genetic physician: specialization in detail

Frequent cessation of fetal development, repeated miscarriages and the presence of hereditary pathologies in a couple or close relatives indicate one thing - you need genetic consultation. Kiev offers a large selection of clinics and specialists. But an experienced doctor who possesses innovative equipment works in the Family Planning  Institute.

In the IPF it is created a comfortable environment for accurate diagnosis. Our doctors are professors, candidates of science and doctors of higher categories. They quickly identify abnormalities and develop an individual program that will help  to conceive a healthy baby.

Genetic physician is a specialist of a narrow profile. Doctor is engaged in the study, diagnosis and identification of the genetic nature of various diseases. Such a doctor is able to predict chromosomal abnormalities and abnormalities in the development of the fetus. Also,  he identifies the hereditary factors that affect pregnancy.

It is important to know: the doctor assesses the situation of each couple individually. This takes into account not only the peculiarities of the health of men and women, but also their anamnesis and environmental factors. This allows  to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the correct tactics of treatment and / or prevention.

When is genetics consultation necessary?

This specialist is working to prevent the development of various pathologies of hereditary nature. Therefore, genetics consultation will be the most rational during the  planning of pregnancy. So you will get confidence that the baby will be all right or you can take measures to promote the development of a healthy fetus.

You should also make an appointment with a doctor in the presence of such pathologies:

• identification of hereditary diseases and developmental problems in the fetus on ultrasound or the alarming results of screening;
• The potential mother’s age is over 35 and the father’s age is over 42 years;
• spouses are blood relatives;
• the presence of genetic diseases in future parents, their relatives or children;
• miscarriages, missed pregnancies and stillbirths in anamnesis;
• if one of the expectant parents has received a high dose of radiation exposure or has been exposed to harmful chemical exposure, in contact with toxic substances;
• taking medication immediately before pregnancy or already while carrying a child.

Typically, the consultation of genetics during pregnancy is carried out by appointment of a gynecologist or at the request of the couple. But it is much better to treat conception more responsibly, making an appointment with the doctor at the planning stage of the child.
