Female infertility

Infertility affects 60–80% of women with Female Genital TB
It occurs due to distortion or obstruction of the fallopian tubes, intrauterine adhesions causing inadequate endometrial receptivity, or inflammatory destruction of ovarian tissue leading to defective ovarian reserve
Primary infertility (when pregnancy has never occurred) is more common than secondary infertility and accounts for 66%–85% of infertility.
Following infertility, the most frequently reported symptoms in women of reproductive age are
- Menstrual irregularities
- Nonspecific symptoms such as lower abdominal or pelvic pain and abnormal vaginal discharge
- Asherman syndrome (intrauterine adhesions alongside infertility and menstrual irregularities
- In postmenopausal women, FGTB is characterized by postmenopausal bleeding, leukorrhea, and pyometra ^[2]

It is an extremely rare extrapulmonary presentation of MTB ^[3]
Less than 1% of the individuals who contract TB manifests as GI TB, and anoperineal TB is much less frequently encountered, 1% of the TB cases of the digestive tract.
Anal fistula

NP: In the early stages when the patient is sick and weak anemic. Sweating, coughing and a lot of fatigue
MP:
SIL /CS: In the later stages of the disease, when night sweats and foul-smelling sputum appear, SIL and CS should be prescribed alternatively.
