Is urinary tuberculosis serious?

Urinary TB is part of systemic TB and is usually more serious. Most cases of urinary TB may have no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stages. When urinary TB develops, over time, Mycobacterium tuberculosis may spread to the ureters and bladder through the bloodstream or urine. It may lead to the destruction of the whole kidney, stiffening of the ureter, bladder tuberculosis, and may cause epididymal tuberculosis, etc., so it is usually more serious. Early symptoms of urinary TB include urinary frequency, urgency and hematuria. After the tuberculosis is aggravated, the patient may also have a low-grade fever and pyuria, etc. Early on, the patient can be treated with appropriate amounts, combinations, the whole course, and regular compliance medications, such as rifampicin, isoniazid, and so on. All the above drugs need to pay attention to the side effects and adverse reactions of the drugs, please use the above drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If the result is not good after drug treatment, surgery should be considered to remove the lesion. If urinary tuberculosis is detected, one should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to actively cooperate with the treatment. If one can receive standardized treatment as early as possible, good treatment results can usually be achieved.
