What are the tests for endometrial tuberculosis?

There are many tests for endometrial tuberculosis. For patients suspected of having endometrial tuberculosis, the tests generally start with those that are less damaging to the patient and also have diagnostic significance for tuberculosis. Menstrual blood is routinely taken for examination, including a bacterial smear, culture of tuberculosis, and the more advanced tests in the molecular biology of tuberculosis. Auxiliary tests such as tuberculin test, PPD test, and tuberculosis interferon release test are also performed. Routine chest X-ray is also required because some endometrial TB is often combined with pulmonary TB. In addition, endoscopy is also commonly used, such as hysteroscopy to directly observe the site and extent of lesions, and to take tissue for pathological examination, which can increase the positive rate of examination. Routine gynecologic ultrasonography, such as vaginal ultrasonography, often reveals separated peritoneal fluid and scattered foci of calcification in both adnexa, suggesting the possibility of tuberculosis. Hysterosalpingogram, according to different imaging manifestations, can also provide an objective basis for diagnosis. In conclusion, the examination of endometrial tuberculosis is really complicated, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for systematic examination to avoid missing or misdiagnosis.
