Hi, Thanks for consulting us. This is true that Tuberculosis is very common in certain parts of the world. When this involves the genital tract, subfertility may result. I don't think it would be justifiable to start ATT ( anti-tuberculous treatment ) without confirming the diagnosis first. I think you should take a second opinion before starting ATT, as this is not a standard practice to start treatment without lab evidence of the disease & there are better treatment options to help women with tubal blockage. Women with borderline raised prolactin do not need treatment. So, better search for a good fertility specialist in your area. Wish you good health. Best of luck.
