Sexologists in Chennai at a glance
Quick facts about Chennai and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Chennai has an estimated 12.3 million (123 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 5 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 13.8 million by 2030, so demand for sexologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Tamil Nadu's 1.91 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 24,000 hospital beds in Chennai, including about 1,200 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 370 hospitals (about 180 public and 190 private). That is about 524 residents for every bed and around 64 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 13,000 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 15,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Chennai, supported by around 28,000 nurses and midwives. A sexologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many sexologists practise in Chennai.
On health outcomes, Tamil Nadu's infant mortality rate is 11 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 75.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 50% of hospital beds in Tamil Nadu are private, so most people weigh private sexologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 sexologist for Chennai, and 6 other cities in Tamil Nadu have their own sexologist page below.

How to choose a sexologist in Chennai
- Check the qualification: "Sexologist" is not a separate NMC specialty. Look for an MBBS doctor with MD (Psychiatry or Dermatology-Venereology) or an MS/MCh in Urology, with sexual-medicine training.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register; ask for the registration number and check it and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Be careful of advertisements promising guaranteed cures or instant results. Such claims are restricted under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 and NMC rules. A qualified doctor will explain options honestly.
Healthcare in Chennai: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Chennai is estimated to have about 24,000 hospital beds across roughly 370 hospitals, including around 1,200 ICU beds. Tamil Nadu state averages about 1.9 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 50% of beds in Tamil Nadu are in the private sector, so many patients choose between private clinics and government hospitals depending on cost and the kind of care needed.
Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Chennai include Madras Medical College / Rajiv Gandhi GGH, Stanley and Cancer Institute (WIA). Availability of Sexologist services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
For context on health outcomes in Tamil Nadu: the state infant mortality rate is 11 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 75.0 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Chennai is estimated to have around 15,000 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a sexologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Before you visit: what to carry
- List medicines, including supplements
- Note any conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure
- Consider bringing your partner if both are comfortable
Frequently asked questions: Sexologists in Chennai
Who is the best sexologist in Chennai?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three sexologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register; ask for the registration number and check it, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Allo Health (Ground floor, Lapser Multispeciality Clinic, 25, 15th St, below apollo dental, Tansi Nagar, Velachery, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600042) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a sexologist in Chennai?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a sexologist consultation cost in Chennai?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Chennai offer sexologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Chennai include Madras Medical College / Rajiv Gandhi GGH, Stanley and Cancer Institute (WIA), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for sexologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
How do I avoid fake or misleading sexologists?
Check that the doctor holds a recognised MBBS-based qualification and an NMC or state registration number. Be wary of anyone promising a guaranteed cure, selling their own branded medicines aggressively or advertising instant results.
Can diabetes or blood pressure affect sexual health?
Yes. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, some medicines, stress and low hormone levels can all affect sexual function. A doctor will usually check these along with the sexual history.
Should my partner come along?
It is entirely your choice. For some concerns, such as desire or intimacy problems, joint sessions help. For others you may prefer to attend alone first.
How many hospital beds does Chennai have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 24,000 beds (around 1,200 ICU beds) for Chennai. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
