What is a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Varanasi ?
What is FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?
First trimester screening measures specific substances in the mother's blood and an early ultrasound measurement. The blood tests look at PAPP-A and free beta hCG. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does FTS measure?
The ultrasound measures nuchal translucency at about 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days. These results, combined with maternal age and pregnancy dating, estimate the chance of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. It gives a risk estimate, not a diagnosis. Doctors use the result to guide counseling and decide if further testing like cell-free DNA screening or diagnostic testing is needed.
What symptoms suggest FTS may be needed?
FTS is generally requested as part of a fertility assessment. Doctors commonly investigate this area when someone reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation, including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding. Whether FTS specifically is the right test depends on your history and what your doctor is looking for. If you have these symptoms, You can book online for Varanasi, and check home-collection availability for Ashapur, Lanka or your own address during booking.
How is FTS performed?
For FTS, a GetVisit phlebotomist in Ashapur or Lanka, Varanasi applies a soft tourniquet, disinfects the site, and collects a small blood sample into a vacuum tube. The visit takes only a few minutes and you can return to your day straight away.
How accurate is FTS?
Your sample from Ashapur or Lanka, Varanasi is processed by a partner laboratory following its documented quality-control procedures. Where the laboratory is NABL-accredited, accreditation covers that laboratory and its defined scope of tests. Reports are issued by the processing laboratory and are widely accepted by hospitals and insurers in India.
Are there any risks to FTS?
There is little to worry about. The needle prick lasts a moment and any bruising fades quickly. If you bruise easily or take blood thinners, tell the phlebotomist in Ashapur or Lanka, Varanasi so they can apply pressure for longer.
Did you know?
The FTS (first‑trimester screening) is a noninvasive assessment performed at about 11-13+6 weeks' gestation combining maternal blood tests (PAPP‑A and free beta‑hCG) with an ultrasound measurement of fetal nuchal translucency.

Why Take a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Varanasi ?
When does a doctor order FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?
FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) is typically done as a combined panel of maternal blood markers and an early ultrasound. Clinicians order it for routine prenatal risk assessment, for older maternal age, or after an abnormal scan.
Who should get FTS done in Varanasi?
Varanasi's Ganga-side geography and monsoon waterborne-infection burden, widespread iron and vitamin deficiency, large student population, rising diabetes, and hot summers make regular preventive diagnostic testing especially valuable. Fertility testing benefits couples who have not conceived after a year of trying (or six months if the woman is over 35), women with irregular cycles, and anyone planning IVF or IUI. In Varanasi, professionals in Ashapur, Lanka, and similar areas increasingly test earlier due to later family planning.
What conditions can FTS help diagnose?
It helps identify increased risk for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. Abnormal results can arise from dating errors, multiple pregnancy, maternal factors, or true fetal problems, and a family history of chromosomal conditions makes the test especially relevant.
What do FTS results mean?
Higher or positive results: A positive first‑trimester screen means elevated risk, not a diagnosis. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should FTS be repeated?
Ovarian reserve and hormone tests are usually done once for baseline assessment and repeated if treatment plans change or after a significant interval. Semen analysis is often repeated after a few weeks to confirm findings, as results vary between samples.
What happens after your FTS results are ready?
After the lab authorises your results, the report is uploaded to your GetVisit account and saved for future comparison. If anything falls outside the expected range, your doctor can advise whether it needs a repeat test, a lifestyle change, or a specialist opinion.
