Transcervical CVS

Transcervical chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal procedure used to check a developing baby's chromosomes and genetic conditions. During the procedure, a thin tube or needle is inserted through the cervix into the uterus to collect a small sample of placental tissue, which contains the baby's genetic information. This sample is then tested in a lab. CVS is typically done early in pregnancy, around 10-13 weeks, and can provide important information about the baby's health. While it carries some small risks, it helps parents and doctors make informed decisions about the pregnancy.
