hi,

Tuberculosis is a fatal infectious disease that if left untreated can spread to other parts of the body.
TB causes infertility when the infection has spread to the genital tract. The TB infection is at times, unpredictable for the ones that get left out after the body has successfully fought most of the bacteria off can get reactivated in due course of time.In women, tuberculosis of the uterus or fallopian causes infertility. TB, which causes infertility.

In fact, TB of the genital area is one of the most common types of TB that affects people. Although, the TB bacteria first starts in the lungs that most of us can get rid of through TB medication, the bacteria can get reactivated and move to other parts of the body. The bacteria can then travel through the bloodstream and settle at any particular point, thereby causing TB of that area.

TB of the genitals affects the fertility of a person by distorting the normal anatomy of the reproductive tract.

If you are suffering from TB and you are a diagnosed case of TB then you should follow your doctor's advice and complete the course as advised by her.

The other causes like ovulation failure, sperm counts and morphology of the male partner, etc should also be taken into the account.

thank you

Hello,
Thanks for your question. Since you have suffered with tuberculosis 9 year back, i.e. your child bearing age, the tuberculosis usually affect the fallopian tube.
The tuberculosis affected by means of blocking the tubes. So the egg cannot travel through the tubes to the uterus. So there is no chance for getting pregnancy. So you have to undergo USG and Salphingo graphy to test the patency of the falopian tubes.
