Hello,

TB treatment is prolonged over a few months depending on the severity and type of infection. It is advisable to complete the entire treatment duration before planning to extend your family. There after completion, a few month of wait is needed to ensure that your wife has regained good health.

As a healthy child is our utmost importance, ensuring mothers good health is a must.

I hope this was helpful.
