Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
You seem to be affected with tuberculosis of the reproductive tract which is caused by a bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculae.
It is a curable condition and the treatment includes antitubercular medicines taken orally ( sometimes injectibles) for a course of atleast 6 months or more( as per category and severity of illness).
If the tuberculosis has caused tubal blockage or affected the uterus it can cause infertility and other menstrual problems , so there is a good possibility that you might be able to conceive with appropriate treatment .
However any assurance or exact duration for conception can't be commented before the completion of treatment and reassessment of your reproductive system by your gynaecologist .
So please do not lose hope and go ahead with the proposed treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
