We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Pantai Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.
Thank you for your inquiry about vitiligo and pregnancy. Vitiligo has a genetic component, and while there is no guaranteed method to prevent passing it on, we offer the following options:
1. Genetic Counseling: Understand the genetic risks involved.
2. Preconception Care: Optimize health before pregnancy.
3. IVF with Genetic Screening: Select embryos without the vitiligo gene.
We recommend consulting with a genetic counselor, dermatologist, and fertility expert to explore these options.
