Amniocentesis is a crucial diagnostic procedure in fetal medicine, performed to assess the health of an unborn baby. This procedure involves taking a small sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus, which contains fetal cells and various chemicals, allowing for the detection of genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, or infections. At Parvathi Hospital in Hyderabad, we offer expert amniocentesis services, providing expectant parents with the information they need to make informed decisions about their pregnancy.
The procedure is performed during the second trimester, typically between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. It involves inserting a thin needle through the abdomen into the uterus, guided by ultrasound, to withdraw a small amount of amniotic fluid. This sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, or spina bifida.
Before the procedure, patients receive detailed counseling to understand the process, its benefits, and potential risks. This helps ensure that they are well-informed and prepared.
After the procedure, the mother is monitored for any signs of complications, such as cramping or fluid leakage. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to discuss the results and any necessary next steps.
During amniocentesis, the procedure typically lasts about 30 minutes. Most women experience only mild discomfort, similar to menstrual cramps. The sample collection itself takes just a few minutes, and ultrasound guidance ensures accuracy and safety. After the procedure, it’s recommended to rest for the remainder of the day, avoiding strenuous activities. Results from the fluid analysis are usually available within one to two weeks, depending on the specific tests performed.
Parvathi Hospital is committed to offering advanced amniocentesis services, ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby through expert care and cutting-edge technology.

Although amniocentesis is normally not painful, you could experience discomfort throughout the process. Some women report feeling pressure or suffering pains like their menstrual cycles when the needle is removed.
You might be offered an amniocentesis test throughout your pregnancy to determine whether your unborn child has Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Patau's syndrome, or another genetic or chromosomal issue.
A procedure called amniocentesis is carried out 16–20 weeks into a pregnancy. At this point, the developing child is submerged in roughly 130 milliliters of amniotic fluid, which it continuously ingests and eliminates.
