hi i am 30 years old and my husband an i have been trying to conceive for 19 cycles now with no success. I was diagnosed with medullary sponge kidney 5 years ago and am wondering if this is causing us to not conceive. We have both been tested by fertility specialists and he was by urologist and we are both fine. Except this kidney disease and frequent uti s that i keep having. Your help and advise is greatly appreciated.
Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorMedullary sponge kidney is genetic cystic disease of the kidney, and it has nothing to do with conception. The frequent episodes of UTI that you have mentioned occur in sexually active women. To avoid frequent episodes of UTI, pass urine after every act of intercourse.  Chat Doctor.  Add more citrus fruits to diet. In order to treat urinary tract infection, get an antibiotic prescribed by your doctor. Since both your and your partners fertility tests are normal there is some other reason for inability to conceive. Time your cycles for the period of ovulation by basal body temperature and cervical mucus examination. If not successful get checked for anti-sperm antibody in the cervical mucus if you haven't got it before. Thanks and take care
