Hello, I have been diagnosed with Diverticulities, acid reflux and tested positive for H pylori which was treated through antibiotics. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago. I have been trying to have a baby with my husband for 3 years now and I am reading that H Pylori can cause infertility. Is this true?
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Yes in some studies it has shown H pylori causes infertility.  It is mainly associated with development of PCs(polycystic ovary disease). I would suggest you to undergo ultrasound abdomen to rule out PCs in you. I also suggest you to undergo repeat test for H pylori whether it has been irradiated completely.  If not so then take treatment. If test come negative then don't worry. It won't affect. If you are having normal monthly ovulation then no need to worry. In some cases h pylori antibodies will be present in cervix which prevent ascend of sperms. I suggest you to go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed and placed in uterus. So the problem of ascending is solved. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.
