[|AI|]  Treatment of TB does not lead to infertility. The disease TB itself may lead to TB depending upon which organs are involved by the tubercular lesions. However, please take into consideration the following facts:1. India is having second largest population in the world with high birth rate.2. India is having very high incidence of Tuberculosis - Mostly Pulmonary (of the lungs) but even extrapulmonary (outside the lungs) also. Thus, we cannot say that Tuberculosis every time affects the fertility. If the Tuberculosis has affected the genital organs - particularly uterus, tubes, ovaries and cervix, it definitely causes infertility. This infertility in majority of the cases cannot be reverted even after successful treatment as the damage to functions the organs cannot be reverted. The other and in particular Pulmonary tuberculosis is not shown to affect the fertility unless it has advanced so much as to endanger the life of the patient. In fact the rule of the nature is that whenever there is risk to the life, the first system to be jeopardized is rerpoductory system course if any complications of the antitubercular medicines have occurred which affect the lining of the uterus or tubes, it may damage them resulting into infertility. Whether such damage has occurred can be known by your gynecologist only after visualizing these tissues by x-ray, ultrasonography or hysteroscopy (telescopic examination).
