Tuberculous cervicitis
Almost all tuberculous cervicitis is secondary to endometrial tuberculosis and fallopian tube tuberculosis. Cervical tuberculosis is a type of female genital tuberculosis, which is a series of chronic inflammatory diseases caused by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the reproductive organs. The course of the disease is slow, and acute inflammatory symptoms rarely occur, or there are few subjective symptoms. It is often discovered only after a systematic examination when visiting a doctor for infertility, irregular menstruation, and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. The local lesion may manifest as papillary hyperplasia or ulcers. If ulcers are formed, there may be increased or bloody leucorrhea. Bleeding may occur when touched during the examination. A systemic examination and biopsy of the lesion can confirm the diagnosis by seeing typical tuberculous nodules and caseous necrosis.
