• Pelvic Tuberculosis
• Tuberculosis is a common disease caused by
  bacteria. And the worst part is that the bacteria
  can remain for a longer time inside the human
  body and can cause infertility. We at SWCIC- the
  famous test tube bay center in Hyderabad India
  offers the best treatment for this through the
  following treatment method.
• A silent cause of Infertility
• Tuberculosis (TB) is a very common disease and is
  caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium
  tuberculosis. Lungs are the most common organs
  involved followed by the genitourinary tract
  (meaning the kidneys and pelvic organs in both
  males and females) but TB is a systemic illness
  and any organ of the body can be affected. Route
  of entry into the body is through lungs.
• Symptoms
• Female genital organs are one of the common sites
  to be involved in women. It is a chronic disease
  and bacteria remain for long time in the body
  slowly destroying the organs (uterus, fallopian
  tubes and the ovaries in females and related
  organs in men).

• The disease may remain totally asymptomatic or
  may lead to pelvic pain, fever, menstrual
  disturbances (heavy bleeding or no periods at
  all) or vaginal discharge (leucorrhoea).
  Sometimes fluid may accumulate in the abdomen.
• Fallopian tubes which transport eggs from the
  ovaries to the uterus are the most common organs
  involved and when blocked (due to inflammation or
  adhesions) leads to permanent infertility.
• Diagnosis Genital tuberculosis is diagnosed by
• Mantoux test (minor skin test)
• Endometrial biopsy/TB-PCR i.e. testing the inner
  lining of the uterus which is best done by a
  gynec practitioner. It is a very simple procedure
  and is done in the clinic. This test is positive
  in only 50-60 of cases.
• Endoscopic procedures i.e. Laparoscopy and
  Hysteroscopy can help in diagnosing the disease
  and also in treating adhesions caused due to
  tuberculosis.

• Treatment
• Very effective medicines are now available,
  commonly called antitubercular therapy or ATT.
  The medicines are very effective in killing the
  bacteria. The treatment has to continue for a
  minimum of 6-9 months. Intensive therapy with 4
  drugs is given for 2months followed by a 3drugs
  for 4 months.
• However, the drugs cannot repair the damage done
  by TB. Fallopian tubes which are commonly damaged
  by the disease remain blocked and function cannot
  be easily restored But with FTC (Fallopian tube
  catheterization) tubes can be recannulated to a
  large extent.
• Infertility is the commonest presentation for
  genital tuberculosis Other symptoms may be
  profuse white discharge and irregular/scanty
  periods. Almost 60 70 cases of genital TB
  present with infertility. In India almost 5
  10 of all infertility is caused by genital TB.
  Medical treatment may restore fertility in early
  cases.
• Advanced tuberculosis in which the fallopian
  tubes are completely blocked or damaged patients
  have to resort to Laparoscopy to open blocked
  tubes or IVF (In vitro fertilization) and IMSI
  (Intracytoplasmic injection of a morphologically
  selected sperm)
