Abstract

Female genital tuberculosis is an underdiagnosed cause of infertility and amenorrhea in tuberculosis-endemic regions. Hysteroscopy combined with histopathology can confirm the diagnosis even when molecular testing is negative. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and pursue multimodal diagnostic evaluation in women with unexplained infertility.
