Dear Doctor,I am 3 years old and married for 5.9 months. I have gone through 6 IUIs and 1 failed IVF.  We were planning to go for another IVF and i was asked to go through TB PCR which has come positive. The doctor has asked me to go through a 9 months treatment to cure this and only then go for IVF. Please advice on this and also how serious is this condition?
Hello madam, thanks for your query.let me first clarify that TUBERCULOSIS IS CLOSELY RELATED WITH INFERTILITY.IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN FEMALES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.... A POSITIVE PCR FOR TB IS HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE OF REACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS .YOU HAVE TRIED MANY PROCEDURES SO FAR TO CONCEIVE ;but I would like to tell you that you will not conceive unless this TB IS COMPLETELY CURED., since TB is known to block the fallopian tubes arresting the ascent of sperms. Hence you need to get chest ray and refer yourself to an expert pulmonologist for 9monthANTI TB THERAPY.ALSO YOU SHOULD GET YOURSELF HSG-hysterosalpingography. To assess the patency of your fallopian tubes, assess the requirement of surgical clearance of blocked. So best wishes to you.
