A simple yeast infection does not cause permanent infertility or stop you from conceiving. However, the discomfort makes intimacy difficult. Focus on keeping your body cool, practicing deep breathing, and letting the infection heal completely before trying to conceive.

Thankfully no, they don't block pregnancy, but honestly, who wants to think about baby-making when you are constantly itching? Get it treated first, save yourself the annoyance, and then go ahead with your plans peacefully.
They don't cause infertility, but the inflammation can temporarily hinder the process. To help your body fight yeast naturally, cut down on sugars and yeast-containing foods, and include fresh curd or probiotic buttermilk in your daily diet.
