. Chorionic villus sampling risks and side effects are seen in the blog. Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a pregnancy-related test to check whether the fetus has any genetic abnormalities. The test requires a tissue sample from the placenta.

Who can take this test?

This test is only recommended for women with a risk of carrying a baby with genetic anomalies or other severe conditions. Your doctor may suggest this test if you or your partner have someone with a rare disease in the family or if you have had a previous baby with a genetic disorder. If your ultrasound scan results are abnormal, you might need a CVS. If you are 35 years of age or older around the time of your delivery, your chances of having a baby with birth defects or other conditions are high.

CVS Procedure

There are two ways of performing CVS. A thin needle extracts the sample cells

Since CVS is an invasive process, it has specific side effects. These could range from mild to severe.

Chorionic Villus Sampling Risks and Side Effects

Common side effects

  • You may experience cramping during the sample extraction. It is the same as completion, but completion, but the cramping you experience during your menstrual period.
  • There may be slight bleeding for two or more hours, but it stops later and should not get heavier.
  • There may be some leaking of amniotic fluid.
  • You may feel slightly dizzy after the test.

Rare side effects

There is a risk of uterine infection.

  • If a baby is born with a history of limb defects, the risk of having them at nine weeks is high.
  • The procedure can lead to many baby cells entering the mother’s blood vessels. If the baby is Rh-positive and the expecting mom is Rh-negative, then the mother’s body tends to make antibodies to fight against foreign matter. These antibodies can cause severe complications and may even be fatal to the fetus.
  • With CVS, there are risks of bleeding and preterm labor.
