Preconception Counselling

Overview

Preconception counselling involves a comprehensive health assessment and optimisation programme for women and couples planning a pregnancy. It identifies medical, genetic and lifestyle factors that can affect conception and pregnancy outcomes — allowing issues to be addressed before conception rather than during pregnancy.

Dr. P. Srilekha offers thorough preconception consultations covering medical history review, targeted investigations, genetic carrier screening, vaccination update, supplementation guidance and personalised fertility preparation — maximising the chances of a healthy, complication-free pregnancy.
