Miss Akila Karthikeyan

Miss Akila Karthikeyan is a leading consultant gynaecologist who supports people with a wide range of gynaecological concerns, particularly symptoms that have an impact on day-to-day life. Miss Karthikeyan is part of London Gynaecology and patients most commonly seek her care for heavy, painful or irregular periods, pelvic pain, early pregnancy concerns, abnormal vaginal discharge, contraception advice and menopausal symptoms.

She has extensive experience in general gynaecology and early pregnancy care, including the assessment of conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and early gynaecological cancers. Miss Karthikeyan is also highly skilled in gynaecological and pregnancy ultrasound, enabling her to assess symptoms thoroughly and guide patients through their options with clarity and confidence.

Miss Karthikeyan’s approach is centred on listening first. She takes time to understand each patient’s concerns and priorities, and believes that feeling informed and reassured is just as important as reaching the correct diagnosis. When further investigations are required, she explains the reasons for these and what they involve, helping patients feel supported rather than overwhelmed.

A common concern Miss Karthikeyan hears in clinic is whether symptoms could indicate something serious. She is known for her calm, thoughtful manner and for providing honest reassurance when appropriate, while ensuring that no important concerns are missed. Patients often value the continuity of care she offers and the reassurance of being able to contact her for further guidance if needed.

Miss Karthikeyan’s aim is for every patient to leave their appointment with a clear understanding of what is happening in their body and confidence in a practical, personalised plan moving forward. She currently practises at London Gynaecology - Harley Street.
