Will tuberculosis affect menstruation?

1. Tuberculosis may affect menstruation, but if treated actively, it generally will not affect menstruation.

2. Tuberculosis is usually a disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If the symptoms of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are mild and they are actively treated according to the doctor's advice, it rarely affects the endocrine system and reproductive system, and this situation will not affect menstruation. If patients with pulmonary tuberculosis do not actively receive treatment, it may affect the body's immune ability, cause damage to the ovaries and uterus, and lead to irregular menstruation. Some people do not pay attention to nutritional supplements, or due to long-term loss of nutrients in the body due to tuberculosis, endocrine disorders occur, leading to menstrual abnormalities such as delayed menstruation and prolonged menstruation, and even loss of ovarian function, leading to amenorrhea. If the treatment cycle of the disease is long, it will also affect the patient's nervous system, mental stress, anxiety, depression and other phenomena, leading to pituitary dysfunction, thereby affecting the secretion of ovarian hormones and leading to menstrual disorders.

3. If tuberculosis patients have menstrual abnormalities, they should actively go to the hospital for treatment, complete relevant examinations, and clarify the specific reasons. They should maintain a good attitude and build confidence in treating the disease.
