Gynaecology related problems
I have been under medication since April 2020 for heavy and painful bleeding during my periods Then it was for 15-28 days of period. I even fell down while working. Now for about 3months, my period is regular and it completes within 5 to 6days. Recently, on September 5th 2020, my ESR test results are 62mm/hr and 103mm/2hr. and my Doctor said there is TB infection and has prescribed me AKT-3 medicine for 6months. I want to know if TB medicine will be safe for me or it will further affect my condition or not.
