Myth-busters
Asked quietly. Answered honestly.
Every answer below is reviewed by our medical team.
Erectile dysfunction & performance
Is ED normal at my age?
Occasional difficulty is normal at any age. When it becomes a pattern over weeks or months, it deserves a medical check — whether you are 25 or 65.
Is ED permanent?
Rarely. Most causes are treatable, and even complex cases have reliable surgical solutions such as penile implants.
Will my consultation stay private?
Completely. Consultations are one-on-one with the doctor, and your records stay within our medical team.
Can young men get ED?
Yes — stress, anxiety and lifestyle are common triggers in younger men, and respond very well to treatment.
How is PE different from ED?
ED is difficulty with erection; PE is difficulty with timing and control. They can occur together, and we treat both.
Do home remedies work?
Unproven remedies waste time and money. Evidence-based behavioural and medical treatment works for the vast majority.
Male fertility & testing
My semen analysis is abnormal — is IVF the only option?
No. Many causes are treatable, and a correct diagnosis sometimes makes natural conception possible again.
What is the difference between TESA and micro-TESE?
TESA samples tissue with a fine needle; micro-TESE uses an operating microscope to find the pockets of sperm production — the gold standard in non-obstructive azoospermia.
Does varicocele always need surgery?
No — surgery is advised only when the varicocele is significant and linked to abnormal semen parameters or pain.
How should I prepare for a semen test?
2–5 days of abstinence, no fever recently, and give the sample at the lab where analysis happens promptly.
How do I prepare?
2–5 days of abstinence, avoid fever/sauna in the prior weeks, and inform us of medications.
My count is low — what now?
One abnormal report is a flag, not a diagnosis. We repeat, examine and look for causes — many are treatable.
IVF, IUI & fertility treatment
What are our chances of success?
Success depends on age, egg and sperm quality, and the underlying cause. We share realistic, personalised numbers — never inflated averages.
Is ICSI always better than IVF?
No. ICSI is invaluable in male-factor cases; where it adds nothing, we don’t add it.
How many cycles will we need?
Many couples succeed within one to three cycles. We plan and price transparently so you can decide with clear eyes.
Is the process painful?
Injections are manageable and egg retrieval is done under anaesthesia. Our team supports you at every step.
How successful is IUI?
Typically 10–18% per well-selected cycle. Cumulative chances over 3–4 cycles are what matter.
Is IUI painful?
It feels like a routine internal examination and takes minutes — no anaesthesia needed.
Women’s health
Can PCOS be cured?
It’s managed rather than cured — and managed well, most women get the cycles, skin and pregnancies they want.
Will I definitely struggle to conceive?
No. Many women with PCOS conceive naturally; those who need help usually respond well to ovulation induction.
Do I need to lose a lot of weight?
Even modest, sustainable loss meaningfully improves hormones and ovulation.
Is PCOS the same as ovarian cysts?
No — the 'cysts’ are small resting follicles, not tumours, and the name is misleading.
What is AMH?
A blood marker of ovarian reserve — how many eggs remain. It guides urgency and treatment choice, not your worth.
Is the assessment painful?
Bloods and ultrasound are routine; tubal tests cause short cramping at most.
Your question isn’t here?
