Question:
I had extra pulmonary tuberculosis about seven years before at left iliac cavity.its been cured 100%.but i need to know will it affect my fertility.Since i am going to marry i am bit confused..

Answers:
Even if you had active pulmonary tuberculosis in the past, that by itself should not affect your fertility. If the infection spread outside of the lung and infected your uterus, then infertility could be a problem. Infection of the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, can be associated with future infertility, but it by no means guarantees that you will not be able to have children.



Fetal oxygenation

Oxygen delivered to the placenta and fetus is dependent on maternal arterial oxygen content and uterine blood flow. Any decrease in maternal cardiac output can adversely affect fetal oxygenation. Maternal hypotension and endogenous catecholamines may constrict the uterine artery, decreasing blood flow to the fetus. This can also be caused by maternal alkalosis.

The umbilical vein PaO2 rarely exceeds 40 mm Hg, but the fetal oxygen content is relatively high. This is largely due to the marked left shift of the oxygen dissociation curve of fetal hemoglobin, which is 80-90% saturated at a PaO2 of 30-35 mm Hg. The oxygenated umbilical vein blood mixes with deoxygenated blood in the fetal inferior vena cava, decreasing fetal arterial PaO2 to 20-25 mm Hg. The fetus has a high hemoglobin concentration (150 g/L) and an increased systemic cardiac output, and both the left ventricle and the right ventricle (via ductus arteriosis) supply the systemic circulation. Small changes in maternal PaO2 can cause large changes in fetal oxygen saturation because the fetus is operating on the steep portion of the oxygen dissociation curve

Other Answers:
TB is a chronic infections, which I'm sure you've been told, however it can affect other organs systems by other modes of transmission. if you did not have these other organ systems affected, then you should be alright. The best way to find out is ask the MD sho has been caring for you. Test should show whether or not your female organs have been infected. I have a very dear friend who also had TB as a teen. She went on to marry and had 2 healthy children, one which ended up being my son's best friend. So having TB doesn't mean you will be infertile. Have a wonderful wedding. God bless you.
