About Dr Karthikeyan
Men’s health concerns are rarely straightforward. What appears simple on the surface often has multiple layers beneath it.
Dr Vilvapathy S. Karthikeyan works at that level, where symptoms are not just treated but understood. With focused expertise in andrology and urology, his approach is centred on identifying what is actually driving the problem before deciding how to treat it.
Each consultation is structured, but never rushed. The goal is clarity for the patient as much as for the treatment plan.

Our Story
About Dr Vilvapathy S. Karthikeyan
Men rarely walk into a consultation with just one concern. What they bring is often a mix of symptoms, uncertainty, and questions that have been left unanswered for a while.
This is where Dr Vilvapathy S. Karthikeyan’s approach begins, not with assumptions, but with careful understanding.
With over 16 years of experience in urology and men’s health, his work has consistently focused on conditions that require both clinical precision and patient sensitivity. His training includes MBBS, MS (General Surgery), and MCh (Urology), along with international memberships and fellowships such as MRCS (Edinburgh), FAIS, and FECSM, reflecting continued engagement with global standards in urology and sexual medicine.
In practice, this often means slowing things down.
A consultation is not treated as a quick interaction but as the starting point of a structured process. Symptoms are explored in context, patterns are identified over time, and reports are interpreted alongside clinical findings. Decisions are made only after clarity is established, not before.
Dual Specialisation: Urology & Andrology
Men’s health concerns often span multiple systems, reproductive, hormonal, and urinary, and isolating them can lead to incomplete answers.
With dual specialisation in urology and andrology, Dr Karthikeyan approaches each case with a broader clinical perspective. This allows for more accurate correlation between symptoms, investigations, and underlying causes.
His work includes managing conditions such as erectile dysfunction, male infertility, azoospermia, urinary disorders, and prostate-related concerns, areas where overlap between specialties is often significant.
Approach to Complex Cases
A significant number of patients seek consultation after multiple opinions or partial treatments that have not fully addressed their concerns.
These are often situations where symptoms persist, recur, or remain unexplained despite normal reports. In such cases, the emphasis shifts from repeating treatment to reassessing the diagnosis itself.
Experience with complex and previously treated cases allows for a more methodical approach, one that prioritises clarity, avoids unnecessary interventions, and builds a structured path forward.
Microsurgical Expertise
Certain conditions in andrology require a level of precision that standard techniques may not offer.
Dr. Karthikeyan’s work includes microsurgical procedures such as varicocelectomy and Micro-TESE, where magnification and surgical accuracy play a critical role in outcomes. These techniques are particularly relevant in male infertility and reconstructive cases, where preserving function is essential.
Such interventions are considered carefully, based on individual diagnosis, and recommended only when they offer a meaningful benefit.
A Confidential, Patient-Centred Approach
Many men delay seeking care, not because symptoms are insignificant, but because the conversation itself can feel uncomfortable.
Concerns related to fertility, sexual health, or hormonal changes are often personal and sometimes difficult to express. Creating a space where patients feel at ease to speak openly is therefore essential to the process.
Consultations are conducted with a strong emphasis on privacy, clarity, and respectful communication, allowing patients to move forward without hesitation or uncertainty.
