TB in Uterus: Causes, Symptoms and Natural Treatment

TB in uterus is dangerous. It can affect the female genital organs, especially the fallopian tubes, which may also cause infertility. Tuberculosis in the uterus is also called female genital tuberculosis or FGTB in short.

Several genital organs play vital roles in forming the female reproductive system. FGTB can affect fallopian tubes, uterine endometrium, uterine myometrium, the ovaries and the vagina/vulva. But it is the fallopian tubes that are mostly affected.

A fallopian tube is a tiny tube that connects an ovary to the uterus. There are two ovaries and two fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system. An egg is usually fertilized in the fallopian tube, and then, through the tube it moves to the uterus and implants into the endometrium.

How does TB in the uterus cause infertility?

The bacteria of tuberculosis can affect the genitals of a woman and cause genital tuberculosis. The bacteria may reach the genital organs from the primary site. It is said that the bacteria first influence the fallopian tubes. After that, they may affect other reproductive organs such as the ovaries, the cervix, the uterus and the vagina.

In the case of TB in the uterus, the infection can obstruct the entry of the egg into the uterus. It can also obstruct the fertilization process as sperm may not reach the egg in the fallopian tube. It can reduce the chance of fertility and cause infertility.

It is been seen that in female genital tuberculosis, the fallopian tubes get infected in almost all cases.
