My TB Gold test result is positive with a value of 6.6, and I am unable to conceive. What medical treatment or medications should I take?
A positive TB Gold test (6.6) means you have been exposed to tuberculosis bacteria, but it does not necessarily mean you have active disease. Sometimes, tuberculosis can silently affect the reproductive organs (genital TB), which can cause temporary difficulties in conceiving. Please do not worry, as this is highly treatable. You should consult a gynecologist and a pulmonologist. They will perform further tests, like a pelvic ultrasound or endometrial biopsy, to check if TB is affecting your fertility. If confirmed, a standard course of oral anti-tubercular medications (using generic drugs like isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) will be prescribed, which often successfully resolves the infection and helps restore fertility.
