Brief Answer:
tuberculosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

1. Your husband seems to be suffering from tuberculosis.

2. He has to take AKT treatment.

3. This could possibly cause of abortion but cannot be confirmed.

4. You need to undergo hysteroscopy to evaluate uterus to check if there is any anatomical reason for abortion.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

No further analysis is required for my husband to confirm if he has TB. I had undergone 3d Scan of my abdominal cavity, the reports were normal. I will do consider undergoing Hysteroscopy.

If there are any specific tests which confirm TB then kindly advice regarding the same.

Thank You so much..!!
