[|Human|] Hello doctor, I m 36 yrs,trying to pregnant via IVF asap. My doctor was asking if I had TB in the past,as my tubes are damaged. My two sisters and father had TB 12 to 15 yrs before. Can I know whether I got the infection from them? That time our family doctor had not suggested to take anti tuberculosis med to any other members in our family. They had the TB dieases from the chest.but here doctor is telling now I had the uterus and tubes infection.the lining is not properly my 2 IVF got failed. Now I m taking AKT 4 tablets for 3 months as he suggested .wanted to know if I ll cure after that ? tubes are already damaged it can not be cure. Uterus will get cure ?
[|AI|]  Hi, You may have endometrial tuberculosis (TB). Having family member with TB is a risk factor. You might have got TB infection from a family member. Even you had the infection many years ago it may stay in your organism unnoticed. When your immune system weakens it will produce clinical symptoms. Although TB mostly affects lungs, but it may involve any organ including the uterus. Your doctor prescribed AKT4. You probably have diagnosed with active TB, and it is curable. If I had a patient with active TB in the uterus (endometrial TB) I would suggest attempting to get pregnant after a patient totally cleared out the infection. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the choice if the tubes (Fallopian) are severely damaged and after the treatment usually patients will have normal pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
