Is there a doctor that can do a prostate exam and check fertility or is this a seperate visit?
My soon to be husband is going to the dr. for a prostate exam (routine) and it was so hard to get him to go. We have been together for 6 years and we both want to have a child but i’m amazed that we have never gotten pregnant in the 6 years….the first 3 was using the pull-out method, then 1 year on the IUD, and the other was refraining during ovulation time. When we first got together we didn’t want to get pregnant…but now i’m 27 and he is 40 and i’m realizing maybe we will have a hard time. He has 2 kids from a previous relationship.
So my question is…i have asked him to have a check up where they do a sperm count..ect…and I am having the same. I do not know what specific dr does this? Can a man get a prostate exam and check his swimmers at the same time?
Thanks.
I mean I’m having my hormone levels checked…lol…not sperm levels…

His doctor would do the prostate exam (why is he having one?), but the sperm sample will be taken by masturbation in the hospital or fertility clinic. The sample analysis isn’t done by a doctor, but by a laboratory technician.

His primary care doctor should be able to do both,
Read the following article to see if any of the items listed apply to him. If they do – then lifestyle adjustments are needed. My wife & I were married 6 years before we got lucky. I was a Papa at 43!
What are my options?
Definite DON’Ts
Alcohol
Alcohol kills reproductive cells and decreases sperm viability. It also disrupts the link between the brain and the penis. Excessive use of alcohol inhibits the creation of the male sex hormone, androgen.
Smoking
Nicotine reduces arterial pressure and as a result, prevents blood circulation to the penis. In addition, toxic substances from smoking are detrimental for sperm maturation.
Marijuana
Sharply reduces the level of male sexual hormones, disrupts chromosomes and promotes undesired genetic changes.
Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids bear a close resemblance to testosterone and as a result, the body stops its natural production causing impotence to occur.
High Cholesterol
Too much cholesterol blocks the vessels providing blood to the penis and thereby reduces the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection.
Overweight
Being overweight can disrupt your hormone balance and, as a result, the production of hormones necessary for achieving erection can become insufficient.
Chemical drugs
Studies show that out of two hundred most used medicines; as many as sixteen are likely to cause impotence. Among the most risky are drugs used for the treatment of high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, ulcers, tumors, plus a couple of medications used to combat allergy.
