TB and Infertility: Understanding the Connection
Tuberculosis (TB) is primarily known as a respiratory infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, it can also affect other parts of the body, including the reproductive system, leading to infertility. Women may experience pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) when TB affects their reproductive organs, causing scarring in the fallopian tubes, which can prevent fertilization or lead to ectopic pregnancies. In men, TB can lead to epididymitis or orchitis, which can affect sperm production and quality.
The connection between TB and infertility is a serious concern, particularly in regions where TB remains prevalent. It is crucial for individuals experiencing fertility issues, especially those with a history of TB or related symptoms, to seek medical advice. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage TB effectively and improve fertility outcomes.
