Does History Of Jaundice Affect Fertility Rate?

My husband had yellow jaundice when he was younger for a few days. Does it affect fertility later in life? He is now 37 and we are trying for a baby with no success so far. I had blood tests done to check if I was ovulating and I am. So just wondering if having yellow jaundice could affect fertility?

Hi I think there is no problem in having a yellow jaundice previously. It doesn't affect fertility. What you can do is to do a hepatitis A, B, and C test for your husband just for a regular check up. You can try naturally for 6 months. A semen analysis of your husband can be done to rule out any problem with your husband. Hope I have answered your question.
