Naupada, Vartak Nagar, Wagle Estate, Kopri — male infertility carries a weight of social expectation and personal stigma that keeps most affected men from seeking specialist help for far longer than is medically appropriate. Many couples attempt conception for two, three, or more years before the male partner agrees to a semen analysis — the single most important first investigation. At Nest Hospital in Naupada, HRG Urology provides a confidential, non-judgmental male infertility assessment service that begins where the investigation should begin: with semen analysis, hormone testing, and scrotal ultrasound, conducted by a specialist team that treats infertility as a medical condition rather than a personal inadequacy. Consultation at ₹1,000. Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS leads this service.
What to know
Male Infertility Treatment at Nest Hospital, Naupada
Male factor infertility causes 40–50% of all infertility cases.Read moreShow less
Assessment includes semen analysis (minimum two samples), hormone blood tests (testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin), scrotal ultrasound, and genetic testing where indicated. Varicocele — found in up to 40% of infertile men — is the most commonly correctable cause via microsurgical repair. Treatment options: varicocelectomy, hormonal therapy, surgical sperm retrieval (TESA/TESE), vasectomy reversal, lifestyle optimisation, and coordinated ART referral for IVF or ICSI.
Why Thane West Couples Choose Nest Hospital for Male Fertility Assessment
The Naupada community's social dynamics around fertility are specific: in a residential area where extended family networks are close and fertility is a shared family concern, the pressure on men to contribute to conception is significant while the ability to discuss male fertility problems openly is limited.Read moreShow less
Nest Hospital's central Naupada location — accessible by auto-rickshaw from any part of Thane West in 15 minutes — provides the geographical proximity that makes repeat attendance practical, while the private consultation structure ensures complete confidentiality. Many couples from Vartak Nagar and Wagle Estate choose this location specifically because attending a hospital they already know feels less exposing than attending an unfamiliar fertility clinic elsewhere.
Common Male Infertility Cases at Nest Hospital, Naupada
The most frequent presentation at Nest Hospital is a man in his late 20s or early 30s with oligospermia.Read moreShow less
Low sperm count — identified on a semen analysis arranged by his partner's gynaecologist. Scrotal ultrasound typically reveals a varicocele in 35–40% of these patients — a correctable cause that, when surgically repaired, improves semen parameters in the majority of cases and allows natural conception in many. The second most common presentation is azoospermia — no sperm in the ejaculate — which requires hormone testing and genetic evaluation before a surgical sperm retrieval decision is made.

Questions
Is male infertility assessment available confidentially at Nest Hospital in Naupada?

No information is shared with any third party — including family members — without the patient's explicit consent.

What is a varicocele and how does it affect male fertility?
A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the veins that drain the testes — similar to varicose veins in the legs. The resulting increased scrotal temperature and impaired venous drainage reduces sperm production and quality. Varicocele is found in approximately 15% of all men and in 40% of infertile men — making it the most commonly correctable cause of male infertility. Microsurgical varicocelectomy improves semen parameters in 60–70% of operated patients, and natural conception follows in 30–40% of couples.
How long after varicocele repair should we expect improvement in semen analysis results?
Spermatogenesis — the production of new sperm — takes approximately 74 days (about 2.5 months). Improvement in semen parameters following varicocele repair is therefore typically measurable at 3 months post-operatively, with continued improvement possible up to 12 months. The first follow-up semen analysis is arranged 3 months after surgery. Couples are advised to allow 6–12 months of natural conception attempts after repair before considering assisted reproductive technology.
My semen analysis showed azoospermia — does this mean I cannot father a child?
Not necessarily. Azoospermia — no sperm in the ejaculate — has two forms: obstructive azoospermia (sperm are produced but cannot exit due to blockage) and non-obstructive azoospermia (impaired sperm production). Hormone testing and genetic evaluation distinguish the two. Obstructive azoospermia has high success rates with surgical sperm retrieval (TESA/TESE) for IVF/ICSI. Non-obstructive azoospermia has lower but real success rates with micro-TESE — the distinction requires specialist assessment. Call +91 88280 71522 to arrange evaluation.
Should both partners be tested for infertility before attending HRG Urology at Nest Hospital?
Ideally yes, but practically the male assessment can begin independently and simultaneously with the female partner's gynaecological evaluation. Male factor infertility contributes to 40–50% of infertility cases and the investigation — semen analysis and hormone tests — is straightforward and non-invasive. Beginning the male assessment immediately rather than waiting for the female evaluation results saves time in a process that involves months of investigation and treatment.
