I think men need to ask their LOR before deciding to become an OBGYN. Some of the things that a male OBGYN would have to do would be completely assur for the average male, more so than any other medical field. A male who wants to go into that field probably has to ask a halachic shaila if his particular situation warrants going into that field. Obviously, an OBGYN himself is not violating those issurim, but there would probably have to be a good reason to put oneself in that situation.
