Q: Is genital tuberculosis curable? How can we know that tuberculosis has been cured after taking medication for regular 9-10 months? How is this condition responsible for infertility in females? Are there any chances of conceiving after diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in fluid present in pouch of Douglas?

A:Genital tuberculosis is certainly curable as is tuberculosis anywhere else. It is a cause of infertility but it is not the rule; so yes, it is possible to conceive after this. The blockage of the fallopian tubes is the usual cause of infertility in females with genital tuberculosis. The only important point is that duration of treatment may have to be more.
