When should i plan for a baby if i have irregular periods?
Patient: hello doctor,I am 28 years old, i got marrried 5 months back. Recently i have been diagnosed with tb and also my periods are not regular, it come only for 1 day with very less bleeding. Can you pls guide me how fertile am I and when should we plan a baby?Regards - Parminder Doctor: Hello Parminder,Since you have been diagnosed with TB , first job is to complete the Anti-TB drugs ( ATT). If you have been diagnosed with TB in lungs, damage to uterus is not very significant. But can't always predict. Extrapulmonary TB - can damage Uterus. Your reduced flow may be due to the stress of heavy infection & may be normal once cleared. TB in uterus usually affects inner lining, reducing the thickness, blood supply. Ovaries are spared.As soon as ATT is over, meet an infertility specialist & plan a pregnancy.If the inner lining of uterus is damaged, it is irreversible. You can get pregnant only by IVF- SurrogateAll the best
