- Female genital tuberculosis (FTB) is a type of extra pulmonary (outside lungs) tuberculosis affecting female reproductive organs.
- It usually has no symptoms or sometimes presents with nonspecific symptoms like menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain and infertility.
- Screening involves risk assessment, imaging studies, and laboratory tests, while diagnosis relies on endometrial biopsy, laparoscopy, and molecular tests like PCR. Early detection is vital to prevent severe reproductive health complications, necessitating thorough clinical evaluation and appropriate diagnostic techniques.
