Why Choose Our Genetic Services?

As a leading fertility centre in Karaikudi, we specialize in providing genetic services for infertility and prenatal screening. Our centre is equipped with the latest technologies and medical expertise to offer services that focus on early detection and prevention of genetic disorders. Here’s why families choose us for genetic services in Karaikudi:

1. Comprehensive Genetic Screening

Genetic screening plays an essential role in detecting potential genetic disorders before, during, or after pregnancy. At Shivani Fertility Centre, we offer preconception genetic testing to assess the risks of inherited genetic conditions. These screenings can help identify risks related to conditions like cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and other hereditary diseases. For those experiencing infertility, our team provides genetic counselling for fertility treatment and recommends appropriate genetic testing based on individual needs.

2. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

For couples undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF), preimplantation genetic testing is a vital step in ensuring the embryo's genetic health. At our centre, we offer PGT to identify genetic abnormalities before embryo implantation, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of passing on genetic disorders. This innovative technology ensures that only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome.

3. Genetic Counselling

Understanding your genetic risks and making informed decisions about fertility treatments or pregnancy is crucial. Our genetic counsellors provide personalized counselling services to guide you through your genetic concerns. Whether you are considering IVF, managing a hereditary condition, or planning for a pregnancy, our counsellors offer the information and support you need to make well-informed decisions about your reproductive health.

4. Prenatal Genetic Testing

For expecting parents, we offer prenatal genetic testing to screen for genetic disorders during pregnancy. Non-invasive tests such as the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) and invasive procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are available. These tests can detect conditions like Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and other genetic conditions that may affect your baby’s development.

5. Fertility Preservation

Genetic testing is essential for individuals undergoing fertility preservation treatments like egg freezing, sperm banking, or embryo freezing. Our fertility experts guide you through genetic assessments that ensure the best possible outcomes when you decide to start your family later in life. We provide fertility preservation options that give individuals the flexibility to plan their family when the time is right.

6. Carrier Screening for Hereditary Conditions

Carrier screening is vital for couples planning a family to determine if they are carriers of genetic conditions that could be passed on to their children. By identifying carriers of common genetic conditions, such as thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis, we help couples understand the risks and explore available options like genetic counselling and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to mitigate these risks.

The Benefits of Genetic Services in Fertility and Pregnancy

Genetic services at Shivani Fertility Centre offer numerous benefits, particularly for couples who may face fertility challenges or have concerns about the health of their future children. Some of the primary benefits include:

1. Early Detection and Prevention

Early detection of genetic disorders can make a significant difference in planning for pregnancy and fertility treatments. By identifying potential genetic risks in advance, we help you make informed decisions about treatments, lifestyle changes, and options such as IVF with genetic testing.

2. Improved Pregnancy Outcomes

By using advanced genetic screening methods, we help ensure healthier pregnancies and better outcomes. Our preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) helps select the healthiest embryos, while prenatal testing provides peace of mind and valuable information about your baby’s health.

3. Personalized Treatment Plans

Every patient is unique, and at Shivani Fertility Centre, we offer personalized care tailored to your individual genetic profile. Whether it's recommending genetic counselling, fertility treatments, or offering specific tests, our team develops customized treatment plans to improve your chances of success.

We offer a range of genetic services, including genetic screening, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), prenatal genetic testing, fertility preservation, and carrier screening for hereditary conditions. These services help ensure healthy pregnancies and improve the success of fertility treatments.

Genetic screening helps identify potential inherited genetic disorders before starting fertility treatments. It can provide valuable insights into genetic risks, allowing us to offer personalized treatment options and better plan for a successful pregnancy.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a process used during IVF to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. It helps select the healthiest embryos, reducing the risk of passing on genetic disorders and increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Prenatal genetic tests are used to screen for genetic disorders during pregnancy. Non-invasive tests, such as NIPT, are available to check for conditions like Down syndrome. For higher-risk cases, more invasive tests like amniocentesis or CVS can be done to confirm results.

Fertility preservation involves freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. Genetic testing is important to ensure that these cells are healthy and free from genetic conditions, which can help maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy in the future.
