Area Of Expertise:
Dr Shanmugavalli is the best infertility doctor in Karur; her expertise spans multiple areas of reproductive medicine. Following is an overview:
Ultrasonogram:
It is a non-invasive imaging technique in which high-frequency sound waves are used to create real-time images of specific soft tissues, organs, and overall blood flow. It is commonly used for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. There are different types of ultrasonograms. Dr Shanmugavalli specialises in infertility ultrasonography and obstetrics ultrasonography. She also conducts scans for follicular monitoring and to check for early pregnancy anomalies.
- IVF ICSI:
In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a specialised infertility treatment in which a high-quality, mature egg is fertilised with a motile sperm in a laboratory setting. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a sub-step in the IVF process. In it, a healthy sperm is directly injected into the mature egg. This is done to improve the chances of fertilisation and subsequently a successful pregnancy. - Semen analysis, preparation, and IUI:
Semen analysis measures sperm count and quality in a sample. It is carried out to evaluate male fertility. Semen preparation refers to the isolation of high-quality, motile sperm from the available semen sample. This semen concentrate is used in IVF Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). It is an IVF step where sperm is directly introduced into the female uterus at the time of ovulation. It strives to improve the chances of egg fertilisation. - Embryology:
It is a specialised branch of reproductive medicine, studying prenatal development of gametes, egg fertilisation, and the formation and development of the embryo, subsequently the foetus. It plays a crucial role in identifying the barriers to conception and implementing practical strategies to overcome them. - Laparoscopy:
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and operate on various abdominal and pelvic conditions. The procedure is performed using a laparoscope (a small camera) inserted through a tiny incision, ensuring precision and accuracy. - Hysteroscopy:
Hysteroscopy is another minimally invasive procedure that uses a hysteroscope (a thin, camera-equipped tube) to inspect the uterus and cervical canal. It is used to both diagnose and treat various female reproductive system issues.

In this process, the eggs extracted from the woman’s body are stored at a low temperature (about −196 °C) for future use.
