TheFertilife runs male fertility assessments in Gurgaon under Dr. Anshika Lekhi, an infertility expert who has spent more than 13 years on this. It isn't a single test. She pulls together your history, a physical exam, the semen analysis, and hormone work where it's actually warranted — so couples across Gurgaon and the wider NCR walk out with a doctor's read on what's going on, not just a lab slip they have to decode alone.


To book a male fertility assessment, call or WhatsApp +91 95600 26697. Dr. Lekhi's team will schedule a time.


"A semen analysis report on its own often raises more questions than it answers. My role is to put those numbers in context — your history, a physical exam, repeat testing if needed — before telling a couple what it actually means for them." — Dr. Anshika Lekhi

What a Male Fertility Assessment Includes?

A male fertility assessment begins with a detailed history, not a lab test. Dr. Lekhi asks about sleep, smoking, alcohol intake and any work that involves long heat exposure. She also asks about past surgeries and infections. These factors can affect sperm production and are not visible on a semen report.


The next step is a physical examination. The main finding she looks for is a varicocele, which is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum. It is common and is found in about four out of ten men with fertility concerns, and it can usually be treated. She also checks the size of each testicle and examines for signs of a blockage. The examination takes a few minutes.


A semen analysis is done after the examination. It measures sperm count, sperm movement, sperm shape, the volume of semen and its acidity. A single sample is not enough on its own. Recent illness, stress or the number of days of abstinence before the test can all change the result. For this reason, two samples are usually taken a few weeks apart before any conclusion is made.


Hormone blood tests are done only when there is a clear reason. This may be a very low or zero sperm count, or a history of low libido or erectile difficulty. In these cases, testosterone is checked along with two pituitary hormones, FSH and LH. Thyroid hormone or prolactin may also be tested if the early results suggest it. A full hormone panel is not done for every patient.


A scrotal ultrasound is done only when the examination or the semen analysis raises a question that other steps cannot answer, such as confirming a varicocele or checking for a blockage. It is not a routine test.

When Should You Get a Male Fertility Assessment?

Get assessed alongside your partner if you haven't conceived after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse — or after 6 months if your partner is 35 or older.


Consider getting assessed sooner if you have:


  • A known or suspected varicocele, or visible scrotal swelling
  • A history of undescended testicle, testicular injury, or surgery
  • A past mumps infection after puberty
  • Impaired libido or erectile dysfunction
  • Significant exposure to heat, radiation, or toxins through work or treatment
  • A previous semen analysis with abnormal results you haven't yet discussed with a specialist

What Conditions Can This Actually Pick Up?

The most common thing by far is a varicocele, that same cluster of swollen veins. It tops the list of what shows up in men who can't conceive, and the encouraging part is that it can usually be treated.


After that, the trouble is often with the body's signalling rather than the plumbing. Testosterone can run low, or the gland in the brain that's meant to tell the testicles to get to work stops sending a clear message. The raw ability to make sperm is sitting right there; the instructions just aren't landing.


Sometimes it's the reverse. The hormones read perfectly normal and yet there's still no sperm in the sample at all (azoospermia). When that happens it usually means something is physically in the way, a blockage somewhere along the line rather than a failure to produce.


Old infections leave their mark too. The textbook example is mumps caught after puberty, but any serious infection down there can scar or narrow the passages over time.


Then there are the plain findings from the sample itself, like too few sperm, sluggish ones, or oddly shaped ones. On their own those aren't really diagnoses. They're clues. The whole point of the assessment is to work out the 'why' sitting behind them. Depending on what that turns out to be, the fix might be as small as giving up the sauna, or it might mean assisted options like IUI, IVF, or the more targeted ICSI or PICSI.

Understanding Your Semen Analysis Result

A single below-range result on one semen analysis doesn't necessarily mean infertility — values can vary between samples due to illness, stress, or the abstinence period before the test, which is why a repeat test is standard practice rather than an extra step. Dr. Lekhi reviews your results alongside your history and physical exam findings, not as numbers in isolation, before discussing what they mean for your specific situation and what (if anything) the next step should be.

What Does a Male Fertility Assesment Cost in Gurgaon?

The cost of male fertility assessment depends on whether you only need a semen analysis or more comprehensive evaluation by a fertility specialist.


Test

Estimated Cost

Semen Analysis

₹1,000 - ₹1,200

Specialist Consultation

As per clinic consultation fee

Hormone Tests

Charged Separately

Comprehensive male fertility assessment

Varies based on the investigations required


A basic semen analysis from a Gurgaon diagnostic lab runs about ₹1,000 - ₹1,200. That's just the test — no doctor to interpret it, no context, no follow-up.


A full assessment costs more because it includes the consultation, the physical examination and any hormone tests that are needed. The exact cost depends on which tests Dr. Lekhi orders after the consultation. There is no fixed package, as the tests needed vary from one patient to another.

Why Choose TheFertilife for Male Fertility Assesment?

  • The Fertilife treats male fertility assessment as a core part of the infertility work-up, not an afterthought run only after the female partner's tests come back normal — male-factor issues contribute to a significant share of infertility cases and are often under-investigated
  • Assessment starts with a detailed semen analysis, evaluating sperm count, motility, and morphology, along with a review of medical history, lifestyle factors, and any prior surgeries or infections that can affect sperm production
  • Where semen analysis results are abnormal or unclear, further hormonal testing (testosterone, FSH, LH) is used to understand whether the cause lies in sperm production itself or elsewhere in the reproductive system
  • Findings directly shape the treatment path — depending on the result, that might mean lifestyle and medical management, IUI, ICSI, or further urological evaluation, rather than jumping straight to the most invasive option
  • Every male fertility assessment is reviewed by Dr. Anshika Lekhi (MBBS, DGO), who brings 13+ years of infertility practice — including cases of repeated IVF failure where male-factor issues were the missed piece — to deciding what level of intervention a couple actually needs

Booking a Male Fertility Assessment

Frequently Asked Questions

A male fertility assessment is more than a semen analysis. It includes a medical history, a physical examination and, where needed, hormone blood tests. These steps together help identify the cause and plan treatment. A semen report alone does not provide this.

A gap of two to five days of abstinence is recommended before the test, as this gives the most reliable result. Reduce alcohol and tobacco before the test, and avoid heat exposure such as saunas, hot tubs and hot baths for a few days.

The physical examination is brief and routine, similar to any other specialist examination. The sample is given in private, and the process is kept discreet.

A single low result is not a final diagnosis. Recent illness, stress or incorrect timing of the test can lower the values. The next step is a repeat test and a fuller evaluation. Many causes of a low result, such as a varicocele or a hormone imbalance, can be treated.

A low sperm count does not usually mean children are not possible. It depends on the cause and the severity. Some men improve with lifestyle changes or medication. Others may need assisted treatment such as IUI, IVF or ICSI.

A basic semen analysis is the lowest cost. A full doctor-led assessment, including the consultation and any hormone tests needed, costs more, and the exact amount depends on the tests required.

Absence of sperm in the semen. It is indicated in the Semen analysis report.
