Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
This is true that Tuberculosis is very common in certain parts of the world. When this involves the genital tract, subfertility may result.
I don't think it would be justifiable to start ATT ( anti-tuberculous treatment ) without confirming the diagnosis first.
I think you should take a second opinion before starting ATT, as this is not a standard practice to start treatment without lab evidence of the disease & there are better treatment options to help women with tubal blockage.
Women with borderline raised prolactin do not need treatment. So, better search for a good fertility specialist in your area.
Wish you good health.
Best of luck.
