Can Norco Affect Male Sperm Count And Fertility?

Does narco 7.5/325 affect a man s sperm count? I am 25 with 2 biological kids, my husband is 37 with 1 biological child, his ex-wife had 4 miscarriages due to her own actions. He takes 4 narco 7.5/325 a day for an old football injury that he s had numerous surgeries on. We are sexually active and with my last 2 pregnancies, neither by him, I got pregnant fairly quick; within 1-2 weeks of not using protection. My husband and I have never used any protection during our 3 year relationship. Could his pain medicine be affecting our ability to conceive?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Your husband is taking Norco for pain management since many years .

These drugs have no side effect on spermatogenesis hence can not affect sperm count .

He needs to consult qualified infertility specialist for clinical examination and semen analysis to find out the cause of his infertility .

Further treatment will depend upon the reports of semen analysis as regards sperm count ,motility of sperms and morphology of sperms .
