## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Urogenital tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that affects the urogenital system.

## Epidemiology

[edit | edit source]

It usually strikes young adults with tuberculosis in other places of the body as well. It is common in Asia, but less common in sub-Saharan Africa.

## Symptoms

[edit | edit source]

* Persistent cystitis, unresponsive to antibiotics.
* Urinary frequency
* Dysuria
* Loin discomfort
* Malaise and general symptoms of tuberculosis
* Ulcer

However, the infection arises insidiously, being potentially asymptomatic for a long period of time.

### Other signs

[edit | edit source]

* Pus cells and red cells in the urine, but no bacterial growth on routine bacterial culture
* Painless intermittent microscopic haematuria
* A painless, non-tender, irregular, and sometimes fluctuating mass on one side of the scrotum.

## Pathogenesis

[edit | edit source]

The infection may affect the kidneys, ureter and bladder and may cause significant damage to each.

## Complications

[edit | edit source]

Urogenital tuberculosis may cause strictures of the ureter, which, however, may heal when infection is treated.
