[/INST] Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, abdominal tuberculosis is the most common cause of infertility in the India. It can block the tube and cause infertility in the female. But it is not always necessary that abdominal tuberculosis can block the tube. It needs a radiological confirmation. There are various tests available that can be helpful in the diagnosis of tubal blocks. Even if in the worst case if you have a tubal blockage there are various other procedure available by that you can conceive. So do not loss hope and keep trying if you want to be mothered. If adhesion or blockage is found than you can correct it surgically. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
