Tuberculosis of female genital organs

Genital tuberculosis.

Age of genital tuberculosis in medicine is defined from 20 to 40 years. It can be a low-symptom clinical form with a chronic course, a severe form with peritonitis or with a lesion of the pelvic region, a subacute form with a lesion of the abdominal cavity. Tuberculosis is difficult to recognize, because it has complex symptoms. Very often they confuse tuberculosis with inflammation of the uterine appendages. Because of the fact that with inflammation of the appendages there are also pyogenic microbes. In addition, symptoms of tuberculosis of female genital organs are adynamia, malaise, mild fatigue, increased sweating, decreased appetite and the appearance of hypotension. All this is accompanied by an increased temperature.

In addition, the menstrual function in women becomes a red button. Bleeding in women becomes hypo-oligomenic, but can be acyclic. A woman may experience undefined pain. This disease causes the danger that it can be the cause of infertility.

A doctor to make an accurate diagnosis should conduct a series of tests, as well as collect information about the contact with tuberculosis patients. Tuberculosis allows to identify such analyzes as, histological examination of scraping endometrium, intradermal test with tuberculin. Chronic exacerbated inflammation of the appendages can help to identify tuberculosis of the genital organs. This exacerbation occurs under the influence of thermal physiotherapy procedures.

Menstrual blood and secretions do not allow you to accurately diagnose tuberculosis, because the microbacteria of this disease through them are practically not allocated. The X-ray method can give additional information, besides it it can allow to see the structure of pipes, to determine their rigidity and patency in the ampullary departments, and about genital tuberculosis they can tell all these changes.

Tuberculosis of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Often tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes is one-sided. Tuberculous tubercles may appear in the mucous membrane, in a more severe case, they are affected by the muscular layer of the peritoneal wall and the tube.

With uterine tuberculosis, the endometrium suffers most. But it must be said that if only the functional layer is affected, then self-healing can occur when it is rejected. Tuberculosis of the cervix can be accompanied by the formation of ulcers with clear undercut edges.
