Causes and symptoms of infertility caused by tuberculosis

Inflammation of the female genitals caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is called genital tuberculosis, which is more common in childbearing women aged 20-40. Tuberculosis can cause various pelvic inflammatory diseases through bacterial or chlamydia infections, leading to infertility.

A small number of female patients with genital tuberculosis have obvious symptoms, including infertility, menstrual disorders, lower abdominal pain, etc. Some only have general symptoms of tuberculosis such as fever, night sweats, weakness, and loss of appetite. Fallopian tube tuberculosis is the most common type of female genital tuberculosis.

The clinical manifestations are the same as those of all female genital tuberculosis and are non-specific. Infertility is often the only symptom after the onset of the disease in married women.
