Does UTI Hinder Conception?

its been 2 years for our marriage and we never used condoms during our sex but had safe sex as he never left his white liquid inside my vagina. Now we are trying to conceive for last 4-5 months but didnt result positive yet. Do we need to consult a doctor? Now a days I am having strong urine infection. Is it possible that because of this I am unable to conceive. Pls guide me further on what can be done for positive results. There is no such medical history of mine.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.

*how old are both of you?

If below 30yrs, try by yourselves for upto a year. If above 30, try for a couple more months before seeing a fertility specialist.

I recommend :
- regular intercourse, every alternate day atleast, during the middle third of your cycle.
-basal body temperature monitoring and ovulation prediction kits can help to detect ovulation day.
This day and three days prior to this are your most fertile period. Time intercourse appropriately.
-take a folic acid supplement everyday.

Improper /irregular intercourse, Thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, obesity, stressful life can all affect fertility.
Minimize caffeine, exercise and eat a healthy diet.

Urine infection:
- drink plenty of water
-avoid spicy foods and carbonated drinks
-maintain regular hygiene.

If symptoms persist more than 5 days of the above measures,:
-see a OBGYN - to check for vaginal Infection as well
-urine analysis. Treat according to results.
A urine infection will not interfere with getting pregnant but a vaginal Infection can.

Hope this helps and you conceive soon.
Wish you good health
