Which department should men visit for pregnancy-related checkups?

Men can choose from several medical departments for preconception checkups to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of fertility. Both urology and reproductive medicine departments can conduct detailed examinations of the male reproductive system—including the spermatic cord, testes, and epididymis—using methods such as ultrasound, to assess key parameters like sperm count, motility, and abnormal morphology. The andrology department is another important option, particularly suitable for men with sexual dysfunction or infertility, offering in-depth evaluations of sperm quality. Genetic counseling and infertility clinics are also available options. Men with a family history of genetic disorders can benefit from genetic testing through the genetic counseling department, while those with conditions such as azoospermia, oligospermia, or asthenospermia can visit infertility clinics for semen analysis, hormonal testing, and other relevant assessments. When selecting a department, men are advised to consider their individual health circumstances and follow medical recommendations to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of their preconception evaluation.
