Abstract
In India, tuberculosis of the genital tract, particularly of the Fallopian tubes and endometrium, is a leading cause of persistent infertility in women. The identification of FGTB so that therapy can begin as soon as possible is still a clinical problem. The paucibacillary character of the illness, as well as the few diagnostic assays available, make laboratory diagnosis problematic. Because of the lengthy and tough treatment, a confirmed diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is required to assist and urge the patient to comply. In a rural hospital, the review compares multiple diagnostic methods for genital TB in infertile women. This review includes descriptions of the condition as well as reports that are now accessible and focus on the tests and procedures required for early identification and treatment of female genital tuberculosis [FGTB].
