Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) has become a global epidemic again with emergence of HIV/AIDS and multi-drug resistant strains of TB. Female genital tuberculosis (GT) is typically a disease of young women and its occurrence in post menopausal women is rare. Amongst the genital disorders, GT is the most baffling especially because of its various presentations. So GT is notorious for evading diagnosis. A series of cases of females GT between the age 25 yrs to 40 yrs is being reported with women having spectrum of clinical features, creating diagnostic dilemma and so final diagnosis by histopathology after laparotomy. So a high degree of suspicion aided by intensive investigations may be required for the diagnosis of GT. Medical therapy is the main treatment, however some do need surgery. Research needs to be continued for early establishment of timely diagnosis of GT and modalities of effective therapies.
