Can artificial insemination be performed in patients with pelvic tuberculosis?

There are many dangers of pelvic tuberculosis, one of which is infertility. For patients, regular treatment is necessary, which can be achieved through medication or surgery. Conception is possible after recovery. In addition, artificial insemination is also a better means of artificial assisted reproductive treatment. For couples who want artificial insemination, they should go to a regular hospital for a good diagnosis in time.

The rate of infertility among women with pelvic tuberculosis is 100%. Women with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis are also likely to suffer from the disease. If women experience symptoms such as decreased menstrual flow, excessive vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, infertility, low-grade fever, poor appetite, and weight loss, they should be alert and go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.

The principle of treatment should be to use 3-4 first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in combination for 9-12 months. When the patient is resistant to first-line drugs, sensitive drugs should be selected based on the drug sensitivity results. For resistant patients, the course of treatment should be extended to 18-24 months. At the same time, pay attention to strengthening nutrition and getting enough rest. It is difficult to diagnose clinically.

However, for patients with high suspicion, diagnostic anti-tuberculosis treatment can be chosen. For patients with large pelvic masses, poor response to drug treatment or recurrence after treatment, surgical treatment can be selected, but surgical treatment should be performed at a later date 4-8 weeks after anti-tuberculosis treatment. Regarding prognosis, anti-tuberculosis treatment is effective for pelvic tuberculosis. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can help restore or save women's reproductive function.

Tuberculosis is the number one killer of women of childbearing age. In 2013, 510,000 women of childbearing age died from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis has a great impact on the mother's health. If the mother is infected with tuberculosis, the perinatal mortality rate may increase by 6 times and the incidence of premature birth and low birth weight may increase by 2 times. Pregnant women with HIV and tuberculosis increase maternal and infant mortality by 300%. These facts remind us that we should pay more attention to the prevention and control of tuberculosis in women.
