Miscarriages can be a heartbreaking experience, and for some couples, the pain is multiplied when they face recurrent miscarriages, which can be emotionally and physically draining. While many factors contribute to recurrent miscarriages, medical science has made significant strides in understanding and addressing this issue. One crucial aspect is Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy, or PGT-A.
On the 7th of October, 2023, the KIMS Fertility Centre and Mother to be Fertility, in collaboration with the Nalgonda OBG Society, organized a special webinar, which sought to demystify recurrent miscarriages and explore the pivotal role of PGT-A in this context. The event was graced by the distinguished speaker, Dr. S. Vyjayanthi, who is a well-respected name in the field of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery.
Recurrent miscarriages are a complex issue, and they often leave couples with a multitude of questions, concerns, and anxieties. Dr. Vyjayanthi’s insightful presentation, titled “Recurrent Miscarriages and the Role of PGT – A,” aimed to address these pressing questions and dispel common misconceptions surrounding this sensitive topic.

Dr. Vyjayanthi emphasized the importance of offering such tests only when necessary and involving patients in informed decision-making. This highlights a patient-centric approach that seeks to balance the need for medical intervention with the patient’s preferences and comfort.
During the engaging session, Dr. Vyjayanthi explored various factors contributing to the need for PGT – A. These include recurrent miscarriages, recurrent implantation failure during in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, advanced maternal age, and previous aneuploid conceptions. Her talk was enriched with practical examples and real-life scenarios, making it accessible and relatable to the diverse audience of both medical professionals and those seeking guidance.
Dr. Vyjayanthi’s expertise and her ability to bridge the gap between medical complexity and patient understanding made this webinar an invaluable resource for all participants.
