Karyotyping is often recommended in several scenarios within gynecology, including:
Recurrent miscarriage: For couples experiencing multiple pregnancy losses, karyotyping can help identify chromosomal abnormalities that may be causing the miscarriages. Infertility: In cases of unexplained infertility, karyotyping can reveal genetic issues that may be preventing conception. Prenatal screening: Pregnant women may undergo karyotyping as part of prenatal testing to detect chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Ambiguous genitalia: For newborns with ambiguous genitalia, karyotyping can help determine the underlying genetic cause. Family history: Individuals with a family history of genetic disorders may undergo karyotyping to assess their risk and make informed reproductive decisions.
