Resolved question:
Hi there
I have a question in regards to having children
As a baby I had Ceptic arthritis of the hip I had an operation and all was treated however
I am now 27 and am just wondering if this operation at all could have changed the angle
Of my pelvis in any way as we are trying to conceive and aren't having much luck.
Or if it could have anything at all to do with the lack of conception.
I am well aware there could be many other factors at play here but I am just after answers about this at the present time.
I do suffer from hip pain on the side I had the arthritis and it does become very painful at times
Thank you for your time

Hello
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I understand your concern.
If you are able to have proper sexual intercourse, then the septic arthritis of the hip had nothing to do with your inability to conceive.
There are many people with obvious pelvis / hip deformities, who go on to have successful pregnancies and childbirth.
I do not think that is an issue.
The hip pain should be evaluated by an Orthopedic surgeon, but my opinion is that if sexual intercourse is alright, then the hip problem will not hinder conception.
Since how long are you trying to conceive?
Do you have regular cycles?
What is your height and weight?
Do you have any other health issues?
Has any fertility workup been done so far?
Please write back with these details.
Take care.
