High-Risk Doesn’t Mean the End | Dr. Debasmita Mandal

In this episode of Nexa Tapes, host Ankit Bhattacharya sits down with Prof. Dr. Debasmita Mandal, fetal medicine specialist and Founder of Krishnaya Institute of Cardiac & Fetal Sciences, to explain high-risk pregnancies and the work of a fetal medicine specialist. Dr. Mandal breaks down how advanced ultrasound helps identify concerns during pregnancy, what makes a pregnancy “high risk,” how conditions like heart disease, hypertension and diabetes can affect it, and what happens when a scan detects something concerning.
