Sexual Health

Sexual health is a broad term encompassing the screening and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, the health of the reproductive organs in terms of reproduction and sexual function. For men the reproductive organs include the testes, epididymis, prostate, urethra and penis. Semen analysis is always part of a preliminary work up for couples who are slow to conceive, and technology and scientific understanding of sperm quality is increasing rapidly. Screening for prostatic cancer is an important part of a health screen for men especially over the age of 50 years.  Included in a general health check in our Sydney North Shore clinic would also be a discussion regarding lifestyle risk factors, family history, and investigations to assess the risk of heart disease and stroke.
