It is common knowledge, that tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes is also an asymptomatic disease, causing severe anatomical changes in the fallopian tubes such as irreversible nodous salpingitis in 20 % patients with hydrosalpinx type 60 %. At the same time, the possibility of damage to the fallopian tubes similar to nodous salpingitis in endometriosis cannot be ruled out.. According to our data, tuberculous salpingitis is not often detected during laparoscopy in women with infertility.

So, tuberculous salpingitis and pelvioperitonitis were detected in only one patient with primary amenorrhea. From 1500 In patients with a regular rhythm of menstruation, tuberculous nodous salpingitis was found in 3.
With damage to the internal genital organs in women, Epidemiological situation of tuberculosis incidence in Minsk, the hematogenous or lymphogenous route of spread of infection from the primary focus predominates (lungs – including those diagnosed for the first time after infection 70-85%, gastrointestinal tract – including those diagnosed for the first time after infection 15%) The fallopian tubes are most often affected (including those diagnosed for the first time after infection 70-80 % sick), less often – endometrium (including those diagnosed for the first time after infection 15-30%), even less often – cervix and external genitalia (1-3 %). Ovarian involvement is extremely rare.
Assumption of the absence of peritoneal cover and poor vascularization, preventing infection from entering the ovarian tissue, very doubtful and requires further proof. Read completely »
