    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • It can affect various parts of the female reproductive system, often presenting insidiously.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year study identified 71 cases of genital tuberculosis.
    • Two cases involved postmenopausal tuberculous endometritis.
    • These patients presented with postmenopausal bleeding, a key clinical sign.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis of tuberculous endometritis was confirmed through histological examination of uterine tissue.
    • This highlights the importance of histological analysis in diagnosing GTB.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of genital tuberculosis are crucial to manage symptoms like postmenopausal bleeding.
    • Histopathological confirmation remains the gold standard for identifying tuberculous endometritis.
