TTC. History of getting cured from TB in spinal cord. Safe to conceive and have a baby?
Patient: Hiii, I am suffering from TB in my spinal cord and my condition became worse, but now I am fine and getting bettter and has completed my course of medicines. Please suggest me can I have a baby, I already have a 4 year old son but I want to complete my family now. I want to know wether this will effect the baby or not and if I can conceive then when.. Doctor: Hi,If you have been declared to be completely free from the disease, there are certain things to be checked for before trying to conceive; your uterus and tubes should be checked for any possibility of infection and patency and ovulation should be regular. You may try to conceive within a month or two after stopping the medication after getting the clearance from your doctor. Also the extent of damage to the spine and its effect on any future pregnancy should be borne in mind. Hope your query is clarified. Wish you good health.
