#PGT TREATMENT IN LAHORE
Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Naila Jabeen at AAS Fertility & IVF Center, Lahore answers the most common questions couples ask before starting PGT-A with their IVF treatment in Pakistan.
What is PGT-A and how does it help with IVF in Lahore?
PGT-A (Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) is an advanced genetic screening test performed during IVF. It checks each embryo for chromosomal abnormalities before it is transferred into the womb. Therefore, only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer. At AAS Fertility & IVF Center, Jail Road, Lahore, PGT-A significantly improves IVF success rates and reduces the risk of miscarriage for couples in Pakistan.
Who should consider PGT-A genetic testing in Pakistan?
PGT-A is particularly beneficial for women over 35, couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage, those who have experienced repeated IVF failure, and couples with known genetic risks. Furthermore, it is also recommended for couples who want to reduce the chance of chromosomal disorders in their baby. Dr. Naila Jabeen at AAS Fertility & IVF Center, Lahore assesses each couple individually to determine if PGT-A is the right choice for them.
How does PGT-A improve IVF success rates at AAS Fertility Lahore?
PGT-A improves IVF success by identifying chromosomally normal embryos before transfer. As a result, the chances of implantation are significantly higher compared to untested embryos. Moreover, selecting healthy embryos reduces the risk of miscarriage caused by chromosomal abnormalities. At AAS Fertility & IVF Center in Lahore, Dr. Naila Jabeen uses PGT-A as part of a personalised IVF plan to give every couple the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy.
Is PGT-A genetic testing safe for the embryo?
Yes — PGT-A is a safe and well-established procedure. A small number of cells are carefully removed from the embryo at the blastocyst stage. Furthermore, this process does not harm the embryo’s development or reduce its chances of implantation. AAS Fertility & IVF Center in Lahore follows international standards for embryo biopsy and genetic testing, ensuring the highest level of care and safety for every patient.
What is the difference between PGT-A and PGS?
PGT-A and PGS (Pre-implantation Genetic Screening) are the same test — PGT-A is simply the updated medical term for what was previously called PGS. Therefore, if your doctor in Pakistan mentions either name, they are referring to the same chromosomal screening procedure. At AAS Fertility & IVF Center, Jail Road, Lahore, we use the latest PGT-A technology to screen embryos before IVF transfer under the guidance of Dr. Naila Jabeen.
Can PGT-A reduce the risk of miscarriage in Pakistan?
Yes — PGT-A significantly reduces the risk of miscarriage. Most miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. By screening embryos before transfer, PGT-A ensures only chromosomally balanced embryos are used. As a result, the miscarriage rate is substantially lower for couples who use PGT-A during IVF. AAS Fertility & IVF Center in Lahore recommends PGT-A especially for couples with a history of pregnancy loss.
