In this revealing episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa shines a light on a little-known cause of infertility: tuberculosis (TB). While TB is often associated with the lungs, it can silently spread to the reproductive organs, leading to scarring, blockages, and lasting damage in both men and women.

Dr. Famuyiwa explains how genital TB often goes undetected until fertility problems arise and discusses why early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to preserving reproductive health. From understanding the subtle signs to exploring diagnostic options and treatment strategies, this episode offers critical insights for anyone navigating unexplained infertility—especially those with ties to regions where TB is more common.

Join us to learn why knowing your full medical history and advocating for thorough testing could make all the difference on your fertility journey.
