Prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapy

Prenatal diagnosis involves testing during pregnancy to identify potential health issues in the fetus. Techniques such as ultrasound, blood tests, and genetic screening help detect conditions like Down syndrome or spina bifida early on. Fetal therapy refers to medical treatments aimed at correcting or managing conditions detected during prenatal diagnosis, potentially improving the fetus's health before birth. These interventions may include medication, surgery, or even in utero procedures. Both prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapy aim to provide parents with information and options to ensure the best possible outcome for their child.
