Counselling for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Counselling for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) involves discussing genetic testing before an embryo is implanted during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process helps identify genetic disorders, allowing prospective parents to make informed decisions about their reproductive options. The counselling session covers the risks of passing on genetic conditions, the PGD procedure, and potential outcomes. It provides emotional support and clarifies questions regarding the implications of genetic findings, ensuring that parents understand their choices and can make decisions aligned with their values and goals for their family.
