What are the hazards of tuberculosis of the male reproductive system?

Patient's question:

I have always believed that my body is very healthy, but recently, this person was diagnosed with genital tuberculosis. When I heard the name of this disease, I felt very unfamiliar. Moreover, I haven't felt any particular discomfort in other aspects of my body, so I don't want to accept treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it may cause infertility. For treatment, it generally requires at least half a year or more. For early-stage patients, medication for 6 to 9 months may potentially cure it. During treatment, monthly urine tests and detection of tuberculosis bacteria in urine are required. If there is no tuberculosis bacteria in the urine for six consecutive months, it is considered stable conversion. If it does not recur for 5 years, it can be considered cured. The key to drug treatment is sufficient dosage and adequate duration. Treatment failure is mainly due to insufficient treatment.
