PGT Treatment in Bangalore
Worried about genetic conditions or repeated IVF failures? Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) helps identify genetically healthy embryos before transfer, improving the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy. At Vriksh Fertility, we combine advanced genetic screening with expert embryology to help you take a confident step towards parenthood.
The PGT Journey
Science-driven embryo selection. PGT is performed as part of an IVF cycle to ensure only genetically healthy embryos are selected.
Consultation & Genetic Counseling
Assessment of medical history and genetic risks.
IVF Cycle & Embryo Development
Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture.
Embryo Biopsy
A few cells are carefully removed from the embryo.
Genetic Testing
Embryos are analyzed for chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.
Embryo Selection & Transfer
Healthy embryos are selected and transferred.
What is PGT?
PGT is a genetic test performed on embryos during IVF to detect chromosomal abnormalities or inherited genetic disorders before implantation. It screens embryos for genetic abnormalities, identifies chromosomally normal embryos, and helps select the best embryo for transfer. Types include PGT-A (chromosomal abnormalities), PGT-M (inherited genetic disorders), and PGT-SR (structural chromosomal rearrangements). This helps improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

Frequently Asked Questions about PGT
PGT is a genetic screening test performed on embryos during IVF to detect chromosomal abnormalities or inherited diseases.
Yes, PGT can improve success rates by selecting genetically healthy embryos, especially in high-risk cases.
Yes, embryo biopsy is safe when performed by experienced embryologists using advanced techniques.
PGT-A checks chromosome number, PGT-M detects inherited diseases, and PGT-SR identifies structural chromosomal issues.
No, it is recommended only in specific cases like genetic risk or repeated IVF failures.
PGT reduces risks but does not guarantee a completely healthy baby, as not all conditions can be detected.
Embryo transfer is usually done in a subsequent cycle after results are available.
PGT itself does not increase twin chances, but transferring multiple embryos can.
The process takes about 4–6 weeks, including IVF cycle and genetic testing.
Patients with genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, advanced age, or failed IVF cycles should consider PGT.
