Question : I m 37 year old . My am undergoing for conceiving . My doctor told me that I have TB bacteria present around my uterus which is hindering pregnancy . So he started AKT 4 with liv-52 medicine.. I ate for 1 month but had severe itching in my body so had to stop it. After 2 month gap he had put me on cifran500 and onflox 400 twice with pan 40 and beasule. I have already had it for 1 month. Now my itching is persisting . It has gone since I had AKT 4 . Now my dermatologist told me to stop d medicine as it is the side effect of these medicine i m taking.. But I want to rule out d problem. So then I can go for my 2nd IVF. The 1st one failed. Plse help me how to proceed, what line of treatment I should follow, how long the treatment will take to clear d infection. What is the other line of treatment?
