With around 3.1 million (31 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Thiruvananthapuram is number 21 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 3% a year, it would reach about 3.6 million by 2030, so demand for sexologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Kerala's 2.63 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 8,100 hospital beds in Thiruvananthapuram, including about 400 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 270 hospitals (about 100 public and 170 private). That is about 380 residents for every bed and around 30 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 1,100 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 3,800 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Thiruvananthapuram, supported by around 6,900 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 Thiruvananthapuram.
On health outcomes, Kerala's infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 78.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Kerala are private, so most people weigh private sexologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 sexologist for Thiruvananthapuram, and 6 other cities in Kerala have their own sexologist page below.

How to choose a sexologist in Thiruvananthapuram
- 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 what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions: Sexologists in Thiruvananthapuram
How do I find the best sexologist in Thiruvananthapuram?
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, Dr. Ajay K Kesavan MA Ph D (Tashkent, RG - 102, K7' s Lane, Pazhaya Rd, Pongumoodu, Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam 695011) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a sexologist in Thiruvananthapuram?
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 Thiruvananthapuram?
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 Thiruvananthapuram offer sexologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Thiruvananthapuram include SCTIMST, Regional Cancer Centre and Govt Medical College, 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 Thiruvananthapuram have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 8,100 beds (around 400 ICU beds) for Thiruvananthapuram. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
