Fetal medicine is a vital subspecialty focused on ensuring the health and safety of both mother and fetus during pregnancy.
With recent technological and medical advancements, prenatal care has seen significant improvements, leading to better health outcomes for mothers and babies.
This field is reshaping prenatal care by diagnosing and treating medical conditions before birth, offering unprecedented opportunities to improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
Dr. Molshree Gupta, a Senior Fetal Medicine Expert at Vatsalya Centre for Fetal Medicine and C.K. Birla Hospital Gurgaon, sheds light on how cutting-edge technology and specialized expertise are revolutionizing the way we approach maternal and fetal health.
Fetal medicine is a specialized branch of maternal-fetal care focused on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the developing baby.
"Through advanced imaging techniques such as high-resolution ultrasound, fetal MRI, and genetic testing, doctors can detect anomalies as early as the first trimester. Early detection allows for timely interventions, which can either correct fetal conditions or prepare for specialized care at birth," she said.
Dr. Gupta emphasizes, "The goal of fetal medicine is not just to diagnose but to provide solutions that can improve the quality of life for both the baby and the family.
