What will the urologist do?

March 14, 2008

Hi Dr. Q,

My husband is trying to get an appt. with the urologist ASAP. What can we expect from that first appt?

DH's sperm count improved since the last SA (6 weeks ago), but still has morph and motil issues.

Please let me know what to expect. I'm also going to join him at the appt.

Many thanks!

They will do a history and physical in the initial evaluation looking for a varicocele, and may/may not in this case draw a hormonal profile on him..

DH now has an appt. for Monday morning with the urologist. I really hope we get some answers...

my RE said to us that there is nothing that can be done for morph issues - is that true?

As far as vitamins and such....

I really don't know what can be done for anything. We're so new to this, and I'm dying for answers!!! I'm just really glad we got an appt. so soon. My DH isn't thrilled about going through this, so I'm having to nudge him gently and keep his eye on the end result. Ugh, this is all so stressful! No wonder I still don't have my period...

hubby doesnt smoke and is real healthy actaully so we were shocked to see something wrong to be honest.

He takes a multivitamin every day plus has 2 ro 3 protien shakes with full vitamins in every day and works out to stay healthy... eats right most of the time ..... urg!

OMG, ditto for my husband. He's very health-conscious, too, so this was surprising for us. TTC is so stressful. I never really expected it to be this hard. :(

yup, i told him that all the working out and telling me how healthy he is jinxed us - told him to go get some crap to eat LOL!
